Child Labour

Child Labour is any work that children carry out. Child Labour can be mentally, physically and psychologically harming towards children. Child Labour is bad work that is forced upon children usually aged 5-17. The work that the children do is very hazardous and dangerous and child labour violates human rights.

In the video Life of Chains, it showed lots of dangerous jobs that child labourers do such as, making fireworks, breaking gravel and many more. These jobs are dangerous to the kids because they have to use lots of dangerous chemicals to make the stuff that they are required to make such as phosphorus. It is also dangerous because they are not give any protection such as gloves so they have to touch the chemicals with their bare hands.

One reason why lots of children work as child labourers is because they have to pay off their parents' debts. For example, if their parents were to borrow something off someone and they don't have the money to pay them back for it, then they would give their children as child labourers to pay the people back. Another reason why there are lots of child labourers is because a lot of them are taken from their home country to be slaves in another country.

Child labour has a lot of negative effects on children. One of the most negative effects is the fact that they are not able to have an education like all the other children in the world. Because of this, these child labourers will most likely grow up with less knowledge than everyone else.

I predict that child labour will make children in the future feel grateful for what they have because child labourers don't have anywhere near as much as they do. I also predict that the number of child labourers will drastically decrease and hopefully in a few years there will be no more child labour at all.

Migration Model

The migration model is used to show the push and pulls of why people would migrate. It shows reasons why people leave their country of origin and reasons why they would move to a new place of destination. It also shows why they might not migrate which is known as the intervening obstacles. One of the push reasons why people would want to migrate to

another country of destination is because they can get better education. One of the pull reasons why they wouldn’t want to migrate is they miss their family. In the case of my migration model, the

two different countries that it talks about is Tokelau and NZ. Tokelau being the Country of Origin and

NZ being the Country of Destination.
