There are many causes of child labor. However, a closer look into those causes can help end the exploitation around the world. Businesses or corporations around the world are one of the major causes. Due to their influence and money driven attitudes, many factories are placed strategically in poor areas. This is to attract cheap labor and millions of children end up working for them. Another cause is the lack of protection from governments. Many developing nations and some industrial countries fail to provide millions of children proper education. Poverty may be the biggest cause of child labor.
