Child Labour (Speech) Good morning

everyone!
My objective today is to talk to you about child
labour. Do you know that of every 100 children in
the world today, 16 of them are child labourers,
12 of them are in its worst form, and many will
never go to school? There are 246 million child
labourers in the world today, most are in
developing countries. Some of them are as young
as 5, 186 million of them are under 15 and 170
million of them are doing dangerous work and
operating dangerous tools or machineries.
They are working on farms, plantations, mines, or
even construction site, breathing in harmful
smokes and exposed to harsh chemicals or
dangers. Of every 100 children, more than half
will never finish school, get away poverty or even
have a decent job.
Let me exactly explain the meaning of the term
“child labour”. Child labour is the employment of
children under an age determined by law or
custom. This practice is considered unequal by
many countries and international organizations.
Child labour was utilized to varying extents
through most of history, but entered public
dispute with the beginning of universal schooling,
with changes in working conditions during
industrialization, and with the emergence of the
concepts of workers' and children's rights.
Now the question arises that. . .
Q: How can we stop child labour?
We can solve these problems by improving child
labour laws and also by increasing the quality,
relevance and access to education. Many
countries have national child labour laws that
establish a minimum age for work and regulate
working conditions. However legal protection for
child labourers is not effective to the kinds of
work children are most involved in, such as
agriculture and domestic service. In addition,
labour laws in many countries do not cover
factories employing less than ten people. It is,
therefore, important to extend protection so that
laws cover the main places where children work.
Education is also a key to ending the exploitation
of children. If an education system is to attract
and retain children, its quality and relevance must
be improved as well. Children who attend school
are less likely to be involved in hazardous or
exploitative work. They are also more likely to
break out of cycles of poverty. The main obstacle
to achieving universal primary education is only
the inability and/or the unwillingness of
governments to provide quality educational
facilities for poor children in rural areas and in city
shantytowns, because evidence from around the
world has shown that poor families are willing to
make sacrifices to send their children to school
when it is economically and physically accessible.
In conclusion, child labour should not happen as
our greatest “natural resource” is the mind of the
children. If child labour continues, the children will
not be able to get a good education and our
society cannot improve. So, let’s put our hand
together to stop child labour.
Thank you.
