Child Labor still exists around the world even though there are laws against it. Much more people have been following the laws of child labor so it’s not as big of an issue as it used to be but that doesn't mean that its not an issue. India, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, and some parts of Africa and Latin America (South America) are the countries that have the most child labor today. In India, Nepal, Pakistan, and some parts of Africa and Latin America, bonded labor is the most popular type of labor ("Child Labor"). Bonded labor is when people give themselves into slavery as a payment for their debt or inherited debt from a relative ("Child Labor"). So bonded labor is the same as slavery. And there are many organizations that are trying to stop bonded labor because many kids are forced into labor for something that their parents or relatives did. Since there are laws against child labor, children are usually lured or kidnapped and sold into child labor or prostitution ("Child Labor"). This usually happens in countries that still have child labor or bonded labor because the people there don't follow the laws as they should. Still today in some countries there are children from age five to seventeen year old that work on mine for only $2 per day ("Child Labor: 10 Facts). Even though most parts of United States doesn't have child labor, children around the world work in shop that produce things for the United States (Robinson 55). In Philippines, there are about 2.9 million children that are still forced to work against their will but the country says that they are making “significant” changes about how to stop child labor (The Child Labor Coalition). But the "significant" changes aren't changing anything yet.
