Views on such a controversial matter of child labor differentiate between two main points coming from people who are strongly against children working and people who are supportive of it. While I must admit it is possible to find some positive outcomes, I tend to agree with those who believe the latter.
First of all, individuals who are favourably disposed to child exploitation often back up their beliefs by saying it provides certain benefits to the underaged, such as irreplaceable working experience. However in some cases workers might acquire health issues affecting their future physical and mental development. For instance, it is a well-known fact that minors in the underdeveloped countries are obligated to work in order to make a living in the fast-fashion factories. Despite the potential drawbacks of the labor, these children do not see another way to survive.
Conversely, the group of people opposed to this statement consider it truthful that minors may be exposed to a limited amount of work to build confidence and basic skills needed to become successful members of society. The fulfilment of this yields a vast amount of positive consequences. Children will learn responsibility and gain a partial financial independence, attain exposure to employment in various industries that might be suited to their future needs. I support the idea that children willing to work should have access to safe and controlled facilities, however I believe their working day must be limited to four hours per day. This it will not interfere with their studies and allow them to take part in activities such as courses and sports.
In conclusion, it is obvious that the question of child labor is nuanced and there can not be one certain answer.
