NPOV

"Some work they do is acceptable, as it is..." does not seem to be neutral to me. the word that I question is acceptable. Any opinions? Kyle.66 (talk) 13:15, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You need to make a difference between an adolescent guarding children, because the parents wanted to have a night at the theatre (acceptable work), and an adolescent working as a prostitute, miner or child soldier (unacceptable work). If you have a better way to phrase it, you are welcome to change the wording. --Eptalon (talk) 15:21, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Carpets, probably trousers?

Children often have to weave carpets (as they have the small hands required for the small knots needed); It is also probably that youngsers help making trousers, and shoes. Should these facts be mentioned, and perhaps illustrated with an image? --Eptalon (talk) 18:26, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To add

what is still missing:

Reasons for child labor
Effects of child labor (on the child)
Perhaps history
