Child labor is prevalent in developing countries due to hunger, poverty, and unemployment. Parents struggling with hunger may sell or give away their children to work in factories or mines. While some laws allow child labor in family businesses, factories find ways around this by claiming distant relation. Areas with the most child labor include Africa, Arab states, and Asia. Children are also victims of human trafficking within and between countries.
