Although

work
 is thought by some to be a good experience for children, other people think it can be detrimental. In my opinion, I think that paid
work
 can bring about more problems for children compared to any advantages it might bring. Admittedly, there are some basic benefits of children working for

 employment laws, they may end up working under extreme conditions or even in life threatening situations for negligible wages. Starting life in

 way makes it almost impossible for them to escape poverty as an adult. Another obvious issue is that working may affect a child’s ability to focus on their school
