Percentage of workforce
In Asia 22% of the workforce is child labour.
In Latin America 17% of workforce is
children. The proportion of child labour
varies a lot among countries and even
regions inside those countries.
In Africa one child in three is at work, in
Latin America and Asia one child in five
works. In these continents only a tiny
proportion child workers are involved in
the formal sectors and the vast majority of
work is for their family, in homes, in the
fields or the streets.
Cont.
It has been seen that more boys than
girls work outside their house. But
more girls work in some jobs, for
instance, as domestic maids. Being a
maid in someone's house can be
risky. Maids typically are cut off from
friends and family and can easily by
physically or sexually abused by their
employers.
