Child labor issues in the international setting.

Internationally, children are working in situations where there are exposures to many occupational hazards, lack of basic worker rights and, sometimes, forced employment. Many of the child workers are involved in family-based agriculture, cattle tending, crop harvesting, commercial plantation work, and the cleaning and packing of food. Many severe forms of child labor are found in the commercial agriculture of Latin America and the Caribbean. The International Labor Organization states that "few human abuses are so unanimously condemned, while being so widely practiced as child labor...working children, all over the world, deserve better".
