When parents allow their children to go work, it affects their chances for schooling. Since the parents cannot afford for their children to be educated, the only choice left is to employ their child on farms, factories, or companies. This causes the children to delay their mental and physical development both internally and externally.

     Families do not know that what companies are doing is wrong; they do not know about any opportunities outside of their immediate homes and workplaces. They are forced to work about ten to twelve hours for six days a week and are paid as low as fifteen cents per hour.  Sometimes when they are forced to work overtime, they are paid 10% more or it is just considered as volunteered work. They work in unsanitary, unsafe, injurious, and very strict places.
