What groups of people today face the same challenge of Child labour

Child labour in Africa

Child labour didn't only occur in the industrial revolution but it has been going on in our real life sentry like child slaves that work in west Africa. Many of the children gets exported to different regions such as in the Middle East and Europe. The cause for this is poverty. In west africa the adult workers would get paid only 1$ a day this means that they would do anything to get some more money even give away their own children for a few dollars. 


In africa the children are treated as small sized adults because many of the children will already have tasks to do in the homes. They will have to sweep or get water. You will also see children working in shops or on the streets, the poor families will send their children to a richer area such as a housemaid or house boy. The poor families who get into some debt will probably lend their child to the debtor as a bond or just to work their way out of the debt that their in. Sometimes debt is difficult so often the children will get sold.  And so with all this child labour and slavery this all proves that there is people today that face this challenge/problem of child labour just not in worst condition as in the Industrial Revolution.
