Child labour – Forced labour

October 29, 2018 : Nasir (19) is a coal scavenger who regularly collects coal illegally from a coal filled truck. Coal is perhaps the most important energy resource that provides for the energy consumption in India as well as a larger share of the world. Jharia in Jharkhand is the most significant coal mine producing the largest share of coal in India and also in the whole of south Asia. Since the days it has come into operation, and from the discovery of underground fires (in 1916), this coal mine has seen a number of deaths. It has been rightly referred to as the death field. The poor lots who engage themselves in the mining activities to earn a living are affected the most. The major reasons of death here are underground fire, suspension of poisonous gases in the air, pollution, etc. Diseases with skin and lungs are thus widespread here. Moreover, extreme conditions of poverty, illnesses and higher illiteracy among the people force the villagers to sell their kids to the coal mining mafias. Nowadays, more are getting associated with this illegal mining activity for less than 2 USD, yet risking their lives a lot more.

Hey Guys. I’m trying to remember the title of an indian movie, with a poor little boy and his grandfather. They were both very poor. At the end of the movie his grandfather dies from illness and the little boy sold to a man for working by his grandfather. His grandfather thought that the boy sent to Delhi for education. Can you remember the title?

This documentary is very absurd. I am trying to understand this phenomenon for a period. That is why I was watching a number of documentaries and reading regarding the same and I need to admit that this is one of the worst documentaries that I have seen. There is the only opinion in this documentary. no research was done prior. It is really a while lie.

Child labor and forced labor are interconnected issues that involve the exploitation of vulnerable populations, particularly children. The key points of child labor and forced labor are:

  1. Definition: Child labor refers to work that deprives children of their childhood, education, and potential. Forced labor, on the other hand, refers to situations where people are coerced to work through threats or physical violence.

  2. Prevalence: Both child labor and forced labor exist in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries where poverty, lack of education, and weak legal systems contribute to the problem. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are an estimated 152 million children in child labor globally, and 25 million people in forced labor.

  3. Causes: The root causes of child labor and forced labor include poverty, lack of education, political instability, armed conflict, and discrimination against marginalized groups. Children and adults are often lured into labor with false promises of work, education, or a better life.

  4. Consequences: The consequences of child labor and forced labor are devastating and long-lasting. Children who are forced to work often suffer from physical and emotional abuse, exposure to hazardous working conditions, and loss of education and childhood. Adults who are forced to work suffer from exploitation, lack of freedom, and exposure to hazardous working conditions.

  5. Solutions: Addressing child labor and forced labor requires a multi-faceted approach that includes addressing the root causes, strengthening legal systems, increasing awareness and advocacy, providing education and economic opportunities for children and adults, and supporting the rescue and rehabilitation of victims.

  6. Importance: Ending child labor and forced labor is not only a moral imperative but also a global economic issue. The exploitation of labor leads to an unequal distribution of wealth, perpetuating poverty and limiting economic growth. Furthermore, the use of child labor and forced labor can damage a company’s reputation and brand image.

Overall, child labor and forced labor are deeply troubling issues that require urgent action from governments, civil society, and the private sector to protect the rights and dignity of vulnerable populations and prevent the exploitation of labor.

Child labour in Mexico – Talk to Al Jazeera In The Field

“Education for everyone” has been a popular slogan since the Mexican revolution over 100 years ago.

But according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, eight out of 100 Mexican children who enroll in elementary school, do not show up for classes.

While barely 50 complete middle school, 20 graduate from high school, 13 get a bachelor’s degree, and only two become graduate students.

A study released by UNESCO last year says the children who don’t attend school are mostly working. The report reveals that at least 21 percent of all Mexican youth between the ages of seven and 14 drop out of school – that’s around 651,000 children.

That means Mexico has one of the largest child labor forces in Latin America, second only to Colombia.

Many of Mexico’s youths who don’t attend school work in plantations.

Talk to Al Jazeera travelled to the coastal state of Veracruz to meet some Mexicans who have traded classrooms and pencils for sugar cane fields and machetes.

19 Kita; A seeing – The real situation of child labor in the Philippines

20 okt. 2017

‘Kita; A seeing’ is a short film showing the situation of child laborers in Negros Occidental. Filmed in 2013, the video follows the story of three young people who enrol in Alternative Learning System (ALS) an alternative approach to learning so they can continue their education while their family is still dependent on the income from their work. This film was produced by Quidan Kaisahan – a local NGO who implemented the Child Labor Reduction program in conjunction with the EU. As a result of the program, thousands of child laborers or out-of-school youth were able to recommence their education.

23 Peru’s dirty gold – TechKnow

24 jul. 2016

The Amazon rainforest is home to 10 percent of the world’s known species, and its ancient trees remove millions of tons of carbondioxide per year from the atmosphere. Its pristine forests, however, are increasingly under threat.
 
The soil underneath some of the rainforests is laced with gold, and each year, thousands of kilometres of the Amazon rainforest are devastated by illegal gold mining. In Peru, where the rainforest covers about 60 percent of the country, illegal mining operations threaten local communities and turn swathes of rainforest into barren waste sites. So what are the consequences of illegal mining for local communities and the ecosystem? What can be done to stop the destruction of the rainforest? And what happens to the dirty gold once it leaves Peru?

Unfortunately, India’s problems are so widespread and ingrained in its history and culture that I can’t see any hope for change in the near future. The governments are weak and powerless against large business interests and gangs, the politicians and police are mostly corrupt, a large amount of the population is uneducated and extremely poor, the country is overcrowded, the cities are extremely polluted. There is also a serious lack of infrastructure in transport, utilities, and communications.
