Child labour remains a significant problem, especially in undeveloped countries. International definitions consider anyone under 18 to be a child, though definitions vary by country. Child labour refers to work that harms children physically, mentally, morally, or prevents their access to education. Over 60% of child labour occurs in Asia, while 32% is in Africa. Poverty is a major cause of child labour today, though lack of access to schools and healthcare, as well as employer exploitation, also contribute to the issue. Ordinary people can help reduce child labour by learning about it, supporting awareness organizations, and providing direct assistance to children.
