Child labor is a significant problem in Ecuador where many children work to provide for their families instead of attending school. This deprives children of their education and development. Some parents force their children into work rather than school, prioritizing short-term financial gains over their long-term wellbeing and education. When children labor instead of studying, it negatively impacts their academic performance and levels. The family environment also influences whether children attend school or work, with some families viewing children as sources of income rather than students.
2. WORK
In Ecuador we can see that child labor since a very Young age many children
take to the streets to sell many things to take what they have adquired to their
parents, but this type of work is a big problema in the society because the
children should only have priority to study and nothing more.
Child labor is the practice of having children engaged in economic activities
that deprive children of their childhood and is harmful to their physical and
mental development.
This process greatly affects the learning of children and adolescents don´t
have options to study, some parents forcé their children to work and not to go
to study ,they prefer to exploit them at work from a very youn age.
3. FAMILY
The family nucleus is very important in the formation of children and Young people
who are being formed to become better people in the future, por other part in the
family nucleus this environment can change competely ,some parents use their
children to satisfy themselves in the workplace regardless of danger that is child
labor.
The family can seriously influence the teaching and learning process of their
children ,this affects the performance of their children in school ,not studying
represents having children working every days,many people think that having more
children means more hands for the work and this isn´t the case,but is the contrary.
4. SCHOOL
The adolescence is a period of acquiring new skills and abilities .It is a
time of new opportunities but risky behaviors that can have lifelong
consequences,especially in education.
When the children and adolescents can´t stay in many activities and
opportunities that are given at the same time,they affect their lives a lot
,for this reason they prefer to leave school and dedícate themselves to
wrok .in this way they greatly affect the academic level and finally they
decide to work and leave the study forever.
