=NEW= =What is child labor (M aya) = Child labor means any kiartsants, working at marketsd working. And working means a labor, and all the money you earn goes to you and your family. In Peru kids work without decisions. That means that they are forced to work. It also happens in countries of: Asia, Africa and in the European Union. Families which are poor have a bigger need for their kids to work and earn cash that provides additional money for the parents who are almost always with no job or unemployed. Child labor also is like a activity made by girls and boys that are young for having jobs or having to work, or who have not completed school, or not turn 18 yet. ==**<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Are there cases where kids choose to work to support their families?

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">The international organization that regulates child labor is OIT. According to the OIT, the minimum age to work is 14 years old and there are some exceptions for light jobs that do not interfere with education for children that are 12 years old. According to decree #560 of article 118 of the Peruivian constitution, child labor is acepted since the age of 14 but is considerered illegal when it affects physical, moral, mental, and social development, interferes with education or stresses children. In any case, all dangerous, nocturnal, or life-threatening jobs must be done by people above 18 years old. Children that work are usually from 6-18 years old.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">In Lima, the full population of children working in between 6 and 17 years old is of 102,177. Most of this population is from San Juan de Lurigancho (13,678 children), Ate (7,608 children), San Martin Porras (6,938), and Villa el Salvador (6,051 children). The first one, San Juan de Lurigancho, is also the district with the most population and the poorest one.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Child Labor creates unequalness among citizens, making some people very rich and most of them very poor, violates international treaties like basic teenager and children rights, affects the health system, who pays injuries and infections that occur during child labor, makes Peru a poorer community, creates a weaker international marketplace, and creates negative influence in the GDP, a measure that determines the value of the monetary system of a country. There is also less educated and capacitated people because children who work do not go to school.

** Pablo where is the summary of these notes? **
=<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">What is the effect of child labor on children and community? = <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">**(Joaquin)** <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;">- Sometimes are enslaved or separated- Less years of school- Less job opportunity- Health problems- Economic grow slower. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;">Sometimes child labor involves being enslaved or separated from their families. Children can be left on their own in streets of large cities, mostly at an early age risking their lives. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;">The age at which the children work has gone from 10 years old until 5 years old, this means that children have less years of school and less future job opportunity. It is estimated that non educated adult earns 59% less money than someone who completed elementary school, and someone who passed elementary is estimated to earn 49% less than someone completely graduated. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;">Child labor affects kids in many ways. It not only interferes with lack of education but it also causes physical (health problems such as mercury contamination (mines),malnutrition, muscular problems, respiratory infections, dermatological infection, and wrong development), mental, moral (values and principles), social development. All this affects the development of the children's life. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;"> Peru needs to take kids out of the working force of their parents or an adult and put them into school in order to break this cycle for a long time and so the economy can grow even more, while that doesn’t happen the economy will grow so slower or not grow then without child labor in Peru. Economic conditions also force many children to move from the highlands to the city areas in order to help their parents and brothers survive. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;">[] **What is the perspective of adults and children about child labor?** **(Joaquin)** - Helps the family. - Interferes with education. - Community doesn't grow's so much. - Community reconaize child labor. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;">Some adults and children think child labor is helping their families to be alive and keep them well. Other people think child labor is very bad because it interferes with school and make them poorer. That can make the community worse than what it is and it doesn't grow. ==<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">This last paragraph does not answer your question. What do adults/parents think of children working? How do the children that work feel? ==

This means that they can't go to school or they have lesser time in school studeing and they have less opportunities to have a job. When they grow up, they have to send their kids to work and earn more money to survive.The vicious cycle starts from this, because of this cycle the poverty rate has not improved very much over the last years. And this makes future generations suffer more then the last generation. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;">[] <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: justify;">
