Child labor has enduring negative effects on children. Child labor results in the lack of cognitive ability, depression, poor health and lack of social development. Child labor retards a child's overall development in nearly every aspect of life.

I also did an article about child labor and it is very heartbreaking to see what these children go through. It doesn't just keep them from going to school, but it also affects them mentally in the long run. They don't even have a childhood, just skip straight to adult responsibilities with very little knowledge of life.
