Child labour is when children are doing work that they should not be doing, that harms them or stops them going to school. What does that mean? It means that these children are too young to be doing this work. Or, if they are older, it can mean doing work that is dangerous or not suitable for them. But child labour doesn't mean doing jobs that don't interfere with your health or going to school, like chores in the house or babysitting for a neighbour.

It is estimated that 168 million children between the ages of five and 17 are child labourers. That's a huge number - it's as many as all the people who live in the United Kingdom, Argentina, Canada and Malaysia added together. Many of these 168 million children never go to school or drop out of school. But all children have to go to school, don't they? Yes, they should. But around the world 58 million children do not go to primary or elementary school. That is about one in 10 of all the children in the six to 11 age group. Many millions more are not in secondary or high school. And millions of children are struggling to combine going to school and doing work. So what kind of work do child labourers do? Lots of different types. Some work on farms and in fields. Some work in factories, others have to go down mines. Some work as servants or maids, some sell things in the streets or at markets. And some are even forced to join armies and fight as soldiers or work for very bad people such as drug gangs.
