Case Studies
Although child labor is widespread across the Earth, it is the worst in the two nations North Korea and Myanmar. The people being affected are the poor youth. If their parents have committed a crime, then the children are sent to prison camps in order to live a hard life of working in dangerous conditions. They rarely get breaks, are given bread crumbs, and slowly become less and less hopeful.
North Korea
North Korea is the second most impacted by child labor country in the world. Even though school exists for them, some only go for an hour and then are sent back to their horrendous work environments. Within that hour, however, there isn’t a lot of learning going on. The parents can’t help their children. The cruel managers of the factories are allowed to do whatever; working, starving, and beating them to death is sadly the reality of some of these poor children.

Myanmar
In Myanmar, a nation in Southeast Asia, most children work from 6 A.M. to 9 P.M. in cruel factories. Some earn only a dollar a day, while others are forced to work without pay. Adult workers are told too punish any of the children who don’t do as they are told. The unlucky children would cut off one of their limbs if that would would send them to school. Others are “lucky” enough to attend under six hours of school… a week.
