What is child labor? Child labor is one of the reasons why children stop going to school or do not study at all. But first of all, what is child labor? Not all child labor is considered child labor. According to Aldaba, Lanzona and Tamangan (2004), it is necessary to incorporate the national and international definition of child labor by considering 3 factors which include the type of activity the child is engaged in, his age and parental supervision. Basically, children engaged in any work considered the “worst form” are called child laborers. These “worst forms” of work are occupations that endanger a child's overall well-being and long-term development. Age is also a factor in child labour. If a child under the age of 15 works without parental supervision, they are considered child workers since they are not guided by their parents and the work performed by the child, even if it is not the “worst form”, is also considered child labor. Other definitions of child labor include that of Edmonds and Pavcnik (2005), in which child labor is defined as “economic activities deleterious to the well-being of children,” which also means that it is work that is hazardous to health and well-being. of a child. The United Nations defines such activity as “any work that children should not do because they are too young to work or – if they are old enough to work – because it is dangerous or otherwise unsuitable for them”. This just means that whether the child is a minor or an adult, if the work done by these children is not suitable for their age, it is still considered child labor. Child labor is also defined as work that involves too much responsibility for a child and is not appropriate for his or her age.
