Child labor is caused by many things. Child labor is when a child is being deprived from their

education or just everyday functions. Some of the causes of child labor are poverty, limited

access to education, or limited prohibitions of child labor. Child labor can also cause health

problems. This can happen because if the lack of sunlight, food, and water. This piece of writing

will be about the causes and effects of child labor.

      One of the causes of child labor is poverty. One example of this is, “ Poor children and their

families rely upon child labor in order to improve their chances of attaining basic

necessities.” ( continuetolearn.uiowa.edu) This piece of evidence is important because it

explains how when families need money they depend on child labor by selling their child. By

selling their child to a child laborer they can make money and even be making profit off of child

labor.This is the first cause of child labor.

         Another cause of child labor is limited access to education. An example of this is, “ In

2006, approximately 75 million children were not in school, limiting future opportunities for the

children and their communities.” (continuetolearn.uiowa.edu) This piece of evidence is important

because it explains that since there is a lack of knowledge, then that means that they can not

get a job to make a steady income. So if they can not make a steady income then that means

that they may contribute to child labor as a way to make money. This is the second cause of child labor.

        The last cause of child labor is prohibitions on child labor. One example of this is, “ For

example, the manufacture and exports of products often involves multiple layers of production

and outsourcing, which can make it difficult to monitor who is performing labor at each step of

the process.”(continuetolearn.uiowa.edu) This piece of evidence is important because it

explains how when the product is produced and it is put on the market. So this makes it is hard
O
to tell who is performing child labor. So this means that they can not stop people are performing

child labor. This is the last cause of child labor.

          The effects of these factors are child labor. For some child labor solves their problems,

but for many children it can be the complete opposite. But when you support child labor you

supporting starving children and also deprived children. The causes of child labor are some

things that many people struggle with like poverty and limited access to education, but the

things that people can fix are limited prohibitions towards child labor. In conclusion, child labor is

unsafe and harmful to the children that are being forced to do these acts.
