Child labour in the Philippines.
Children working in garbage.
The Philippines is located in Asia, with over 100,000,000 people. Lots of beaches and sunny areas, but there is more to it. Around this country, about 17% of all 5-7 year olds children in the Philippines are working in child labour, that is 1 out of every 6! Out of all 5-17 year old children, over 3 million of them are also in child labour. They get paid little or none, even though they are trying the best they can. There are lots of different jobs that these children do, like collecting tobacco, corn, rubber, sugarcane, coconuts, bananas, making pyrotechnics, fashion accessories, getting rice, pornography, and killing hogs.
SolutionsOne way we can try and fix this is to listen to the children. These children are crying and want to be re-united with their families but they wont listen. Another way is to donate to them, on the bottom of this page, there is a link where you can donate to them. You can also inform others by doing an animoto, prezi, weebly, youtube video, etc. Another way is to contact the government so they can take action as well.
