Child labor: a global problem on the rise.
This paper intends to review and analyse the literature focusing on the topic of child labor. Child labor is a global problem on the rise despite modern Western beliefs. Today, such complex and interrelated issues as poverty, illiteracy, and politics fuel the growth of the number of children being exploited for economic gain. It is often difficult to imagine that the products we purchase are manufactured in such horrible conditions, but as consumers we must take responsibility for the well-being of these children.
