In many countries, children are engaged in some kind of labour. Some people regard this completely wrong while others consider it valuable and important for learning and enabling them to be responsible

Today in several countries we can see children as paid workers. While some individuals believe child labour should not be allowed, a few others encourage it considering it to be beneficial for a child’s development.

However

, in my opinion, children should not be allowed to work as it deprives them of their childhood. It is a fact that childhood is the most memorable phase of a person’s life. It is at

this

youth that we enjoy leading the most carefree life playing and enjoying around unaware of the struggles of life. Children at

this

age should focus on learning and should have the opportunities to explore their areas of interest.

Instead, if

children are forced to work they will never be able to identify their real capabilities and will end up doing the same job to which they are exposed. Another important fact is that most of the child labourers are usually exploited at their work places and are often mistreated by the employers.

This

is a major and serious concern as it adversely affects a child’s mind. Having bad experiences at a young age, sometimes develop a negative mindset in children and they are driven towards criminal activities.

Hence

, it is very crucial that children should have a proper upbringing in a protective environment.

Also

, I believe that nations where child labour is widely practiced should adopt strict policies to have a restriction on the age limit. In conclusion, the practice of employing children as paid workers should not be encouraged in any country as it would prevent them from leading a healthy and safe childhood.
