 discuss both views in detail in the upcoming paragraphs.
Firstly
, there are many circumstances where students have to take some paid jobs during their holidays as they or their parents may not meet with financial conditions for education fees , some parents feel that it is important for their cohorts to start part-time jobs as they can learn many skills
such
 as earning money is difficult, values to treat people and learn about the system, they become more stable and matured .Hard work pays off to fulfil the deeds.
For example
, there was a survey at The University Of Regina, Saskatchewan ,Canada that youths who were doing part-time jobs in different fields were more confident and developed less stage fear than the non-working category.

 them under so much burden at an early age.
This
 may result in fewer scores in academics and ultimately it affects on minds and health of young guns
thus
 child labour should not be allowed from a few people's view.
For example
,a survey from the same university about the results of students who were not working scored higher grades than the others.

also
 learning plenty of skills will help in the
overall
 development of cohorts which ultimately develop a nice place to live.
