This document discusses child labor and attempts to define it. It notes that defining child labor is complex due to the many factors involved. Some of the key points made are that over 168 million children are involved in child labor globally, with the largest percentages in agriculture and in developing regions like Africa and Latin America. The document also references Catholic social teachings that condemn child labor as it deprives children of their childhood and can harm them physically and emotionally. Overall it wrestles with how to address child labor given its role in supporting poor families in some developing countries.
