Children's Rights Conference Poverty is often the reason for Child Labour - Education makes changes.
Child labour is a world wide problem.
250 million children aged between 5 and 14 years are child workers. They work in factories, agriculture, mines or with pornography. It is often dangerous work where the children neither have rights nor influence. When children are forced to work, their natural development is prevented or even stopped, which leads to devastating consequences. Klaus G nter is responsible for combating child labour within ILO, International Labour Organisation.
