In many countries, children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. Discuss both those views and give your own opinion.

Across many nations, young

people

are put to do some paid labour. There is a debate among civilians that

this

is bad

while

others believe that it is important as it teaches them life. I strongly disagree with society who believe that it is wrong as it provides kids with on-the-job training and networking,

although

it has benefits, it can

also

lead to child exploitation and affect their development. Most young

people

are given on-the-job training. During their time on the job they learn personal financial skills and

also

how to save which is often not taught in schools. Networking is another opportunity that opens for kids as they shadow other workers in the organisation.

Thus

, other employees can go with children to conferences and at that time they meet

people

from different companies.

Although

there are benefits, there are

also

disadvantages

such

as child exploitation. They are companies that may decide to hire young

people

for lower wages for long hours jobs.

Furthermore

, there is a firm belief that

this

may deter their development. Young

people

should be allowed to play and develop,

thus

skipping important milestones.

For instance

, in developing countries, there are reports that young offspring are used to working in mines and

also

there are reports that they die in high numbers

due to

exhaustion. In conclusion, I believe that there are more benefits to children having the opportunity to work and experience life. The opportunity to work allows them to meet

people

who will impart knowledge and open doors for them,

on the other hand

being hired may

also

put them in harm's way, where they are susceptible to abuse.
