If the working conditions of adults are often detrimental from the standpoint of safety and health, the children suffer doubly, for work rejected by adults and by his physical frailty. The fact develop a work prevents many of them attend school and their working conditions have no possibility of improving and perpetuating a cycle of poverty.
