Abstract

Children of poorer parents do not tend to work more than others, but when they do work, they often work longer hours and under worse conditions They are less likely to find themselves participating in activities that would be attractive to parents advocating the educational functions of work. Children of the modern consumer society give many reasons for working but, the importance of money. However, money is not only about It is related to socializing, friends, and activities. This paper examine what child labor is, where and why kids work, and what can be done about the problem.
