National Geographic states that one out of ten children ages 5 to 17 suffer from child labor worldwide. Imagine this in countries that are already struggling with poorly enforced laws. It may seem plausible that child labor would help poor families with high poverty rates, but the effects are atrocious and disturbing. Child labor can produce slowness in puberty, horrible body symptoms, or even death. China already suffers from child overpopulation while India and Pakistan undergo starvation and…
