Detailed explanation-1: -Child labour can result in extreme bodily and mental harm, and even death. It can lead to slavery and sexual or economic exploitation. And in nearly every case, it cuts children off from schooling and health care, restricting their fundamental rights and threatening their futures.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is estimated that fifty percent of children who lived during the Industrial Revolution were forced to work instead of getting an education. They often had lifelong consequences, including serious health and mental health issues which prevented them from living their lives to the fullest as adults.
Detailed explanation-3: -Children performed all sorts of jobs including working on machines in factories, selling newspapers on street corners, breaking up coal at the coal mines, and as chimney sweeps. Sometimes children were preferred to adults because they were small and could easily fit between machines and into small spaces.
