[Poll] Child labour,its moral value and positive side
December 6, 2007 - 05:21 AM

I think child labour is a petinent issue in most developing countries. the reasons for that are very numerous and i can not go into that here.
Children work because of povety. Child labour is bad to a greater extent but we can not undermine some of its advantages. I do not want to talk about the economic perspective but rather the moral and educational.I studied this issue to an extent and I am of the opinion that some children work to pay for their school needs and fees. Surprisingly enough, some children excelled in scholls because they had intrinsic motivation to learn and the only opportunity for them to acquire education was to work. Some worked in hazardous conditions during holiday and even after school hours.Such children who knew how hard it was to pay for schooling could not afford to fail. they said failing meant going trough the tough times of working all over again and to avoid that was passing. Passing exams brougth inner satisfaction and an inspiration to work more. I think this is a value they develop towards working hard. In many African countries where children do not have the opportunity to fund their education if children can invest the money they work in education rather than in beer and drugs then we can change the situation a bit.
This whole issue i think depends on the motive and reason for that. If children can use this to educate themselves since most of them are ophans and from poor homes, it will be good,but when the child is exposed to situations that damages his or her mental, moral , phisical and mental state, then that is bad.
