Child Labor Protection

PROTECTION

Businesses help a country's economy by making it look like the country is successful. If the government tries to intervene and stop child labor, the businesses may threaten to move to another country that would also welcome the chance to look good. Sometimes, the country's governments are too greedy and are willing to risk the lives of the children, for the sake of financial gain and surface politics.
