2. An estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour - one in six children in the world.

3. A lot of the work involves working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery

4. In Sub-Saharan Africa around one in three children are engaged in child labour, representing 69 million children. In South Asia, another 44 million are engaged in child labour.

5. During the Industrial Revolution, children as young as four were employed in production factories with dangerous, and often fatal, working conditions.

6. Many popular companies use child labour as a cheap resource for fast production, coca- cola Mc. Donald's nestle adidas Gap Nike

7. Over 70% of Nike soccer balls are made in pakistan, and other 3 rd world countries.

8. Child labour has dropped dramaticly within the last 10 years, from 25% to 10% of all children. Some people find that child labour is good as it helps out the 3rd world countrys to gain more economy, but making children as young as 5 working is inhumane, and should not be practiced under any counditions.

9. Genesis 3:16 Genesis 3:16 To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labour you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” Genesis 3:15-17 (in Context) Like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go about their labour of foraging food; the wasteland provides food for their children. Job 24:4-6 (in Context) We were with child, we writhed in labour, but we gave birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the people of the world have not come to life. Isaiah 26:17-19 (in Context) “Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have laboured at since childhood. Perhaps you will succeed, perhaps you will cause terror. Isaiah 47:11-13 (in Context) I That is all they are to you— these you have dealt with and laboured with since childhood. All of them go on in their error; there is not one that can save you. Isaiah 47:14-15 (in Context) [ The Future Glory of Zion ] “Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labour; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the LORD. Genesis 3:15-17 Job 24:4-6 Isaiah 26:17-19 Isaiah 47:11-13

10. I chose Child Labour as my topic, as I had read a few newspaper articles on the topic, and vaguely understood what goes on. With further research I found out after the mothers of the child have the birth, there usefully stuck for money, and can barely afford to support themselves let alone a baby, as they struggle through (5$- a day) they sell their child at around the 3-8 age, for say, 200$. The person who buys the child usually works for a bigger company such as Nike I will use for this example. They explain to the child that their debt is forever how much they paid for the child, for example 250$. The child will make soccer balls for however long, till there’re free from their debt, on average, a child will make which can mean consecutive years of labour for the kids
