Child Labor in China

In China, there are children who gives their childhood life up just to work for people. Child labor is one of the biggest problems in China, workers would prefer children to work under them because they would be willing to do whatever anyone tells them to, not only that, they work faster and are cheaper to pay. There is a law called, The Compulsory Education Law of the Chinese, and that is for children under the age of sixteen. Children at that age are not allowed to have a full time job and are required to go to school. But now, ten percent of children in China do not attend to school because their government secretly hires them to do a full time job. Not only the government who allows the children to work, parents do too. In China, the parents feel like the best "education" for their kids is at work not school because they don't learn any skills at school compared to at work. They also send their children to work because they are not able to afford it, their child works also to support their family too. The government is one of the big reason of why child labor is still happening because they believe that this could be a way to help poverty. If the government

had different views on this, there could be a way for this to end but because of them, there is no sign of any improvement there and banning child labor is not an important issue to them.
