Children at work

This link should take you to some videos of kids working around the world.There are two from Peru. The very last one is of children, near where I work, making bricks. There is another one of work in the gold mines in Peru. These are all private, illegal mines which pay no taxes and very little wages. The owners usually find excuses every month for not paying the full wage earned, e.g. because something was broken. It's pure misery, but if the government tries to intervene the people don't like it because they need the money to live on and don't see any other option. It's a vicious circle really. But it has to be said that the goverment here in Peru is doing its best. Here is the link to the ILO page. Youtube links are on right of page.
