Child exploitation negatively impacts children's development and enjoyment of their rights. Poverty is the main driver of child labor in Colombia, with more boys than girls working. Low quality education and social factors like parental encouragement also contribute. Physical consequences include overexertion, poor health, and chemical exposure. Psychologically, working prevents normal socialization and identity formation. Socially, it limits playtime with friends. Educationally, it causes tiredness, falling behind, and school dropout.
