2. In Spain, there is a law that regulates the age, the hours
and the type of work that children under 18 years can do.
The minimum age for working is 16, with some
exceptions like children participating in public
performances (singing, circus…). For example, the
children under eighteen cannot do night work.
3. Officially, child labor exploitation is not considered a
problem, but some non-governmental organizations
think that there is more child labor than we know. Some
examples are children who work collecting strawberries
and olives or selling thing in the street.
4. The statistics are based on the children who go to the
school, but many of the cases of child labor concern
children who don’t go to school and whose families travel
around and work as temporary workers.
5. In my opinion we should pay more attention to this
problem, which is now a small problem but it can be
bigger in the future. Children should have time to go to
school and have fun while they can.
