Child Labor Is Common

North Korea really doesn’t have a lot of friends outside its own country. Many countries put up embargoes against North Korea, including the U.S. This forces the country to be reliant on only the resources that they have within its borders. Because of this, many children are forced to work on fields and other areas where extra help is needed. These children aren’t even paid for the work that they’re doing! It’s not child labor, it’s child slavery. These kids are already robbed of having a normal childhood by the strict rules and regulations placed on their free will. They are then taken out of schools and put into fields to make up for the mistakes of the leaders past. Kids as young as five years old are seen working in the hot sun, carrying heavy materials, and forced into dangerous scenarios. Although nothing gruesome is happening in the photograph above, it’s still rather gruesome.
