Child labor means work performed by minors which is physically, mentally, morally or socially harmful or which interferes with or prevents them from attending school (as defined by the International Labor Organization).
Not all child work is child labor. Occasional work for a few hours that allows for full-time schooling and does not jeopardize a child’s development, such as summer work, is a different matter from working from morning to night in adverse conditions.
The use of child labor is common in developing countries, but the phenomenon is also familiar in industrialized countries. Especially in the early days of industrialization in the 19th century, many European countries also had a large number of children in factory work, sometimes in mines. Today, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child prohibits the exploitation of child labor.
