In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it a valuable work experience, which is important for learning and taking responsibility. What is your opinion?

Nowadays, many children involved in different types of jobs to have some kind of financial assurance for themselves.

However

, whether

this

is good for their development and personality is a controversial issue. I personally believe that paid works i

harmful for children for several reasons. It is said that children gain valuable experience in the work place.

This

may be true.

However

This

brings me to the

second

point. Defenders of child labour argues that it is an effective method of learning. The point is children should be able to apply knowledge taught to them in a real life working environment.

Although

this

is undoubtedly true, it

also

means that children may neglect the classroom study and even fail the class. The worst thing is yet to come. They may become so preoccupied with the benefits ahead of them

such

as small salary that they may leave school. 

Finally

, supporters say that it helps them to build responsibility in the family. They will understand how it is difficult to earn money and

therefore

have compassion for their parents.

This

is true to a certain extent, but may have a totally adverse effect on children. As children can make money at an early age, they would feel that it is appropriate to spend it on luxury things. In conclusion, I think that parents should take measures to restrict their child from work,
