Call me cruel, but my take is..........if the children are willing, why not?
To call child labour a form of exploitation is pretty much a one-sided argument if we fail to take into account the needs of the children.
In many cases, the children work to support their families and especially in Asia, a substantial portion of income actually come from wages earned by children. To deprive these children of work in these cases can hence be considered cruel because it cuts income.
The situation is not helped by the negative images the media tends to feed us with. "Child labour" is not "child exploitation". But that's not to say "child exploitation" does not occur. -
