Where in the world are children toiling dangerous and dirty conditions, missing out on education and other basic rights?
A new report by risk analysis firm Maplecroft,
which ranks 197 countries, identifies Eritrea, Somalia, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and
Yemen/Nigeria as the 10 places where child labor is most prevalent.
Countries with high
poverty rates fare badly in the index due to the need for children to
supplement their family income, the report said, but economically
important countries like China, India, Russia and Brazil were also found
to have extreme risks because child labor laws are often poorly
enforced.
