Why is child labour hazardous?
Child labour deprives children of their childhood and future. It interferes with the childs right to rest and play and can moreover endanger the childs health. Many child labourers are so-called nowhere children, they are neither enrolled in school nor registered as child labourers. They are therefore hardly visible to the outside world and fall outside the protective environment that a school can provide. Without education children are moreover pre-destined to become illiterate labourers without an opportunity to develop their full potential. Child labour thus keeps the vicious cycle of poverty and ignorance in place.
