Child labor is the employment of children for work in any family farm , enterprise or organization without any pay , profit or unpaid child labor. It is considered exploitative, and many countries have declared it illegal. Economic pressures force most families to involve their children in earning a living. About one-tenth of the world's children under the age of 15 (150 million) are engaged in various occupations. Some of these professions are quite risky. Most working children grow up and survive in extreme poverty and deprivation. They get no chance of education and skill development for a better life.
