Let's face it, we'd all love to have more money to go out or buy new clothes, CDs or MP3s. To earn some extra cash, some schoolkids take on a part-time job such as a newspaper round. But most of our time is spent studying or playing. In the UK, it is illegal for under-16s to be employed full time.
For
many children around the world, however, life is
very different. Almost 250 million children of school
age are forced to work gruelling hours in dangerous
conditions in order to raise a living for their family.
From
coal mining to embroidery, kids are losing out
on their childhood and are prevented from learning
how to read and write because they are forced to
work.Most children are forced to work because their
families are poor and need the extra income in
order
to survive. Yet many of the products made by poor
children around the world end up on the shelves
of shops and supermarkets in wealthier countries
such
as the UK.
In
order to explore the relationship between different
world economies and how this affects
poverty
and child labour, Mr Brown's Year 8 Maths class
have made a series of news bulletins.
