  Jul 14 2012: Certainly, you have a point.
  All caountries should have laws specifically regulating the work of children, and follow up carefuly.
  
  I also think is important what you mentioned about the several ways to build a self importance.
  Thank you for sharing Jack.

  Jul 14 2012: Gunja, Im telling you. This group of children work because they want to, nobody is forcing them. I think there are more of this kind of kids who really want to work despite the economical situation of their family, probably just because they feel pleasure in what they are doing. And I also do not think is a matter of education, not everyone in the world has to be educated in a formal school, sometimes the streets, the markets, the real world is a a better school. For instances I see people who has a PhD, ut they haven´t work in anything yet, they have good memory but bad skills.
  
  Do you really think that a scholar degree asure you a better job?
  
  cheers!

  Jul 12 2012: As I read, you understood me very well.
  You only can have a real opinios if you have been there, otherwise it is just an speculation.
  
  But if we talk about real data, according to the WHO, and talking about the hazard rating in the countries in its latest revision (composed of the sum of suicides plus homicides), Mexico ranks # 14 (with a total of 15.2%) while Canada is # 18 (with a total of 13.05%). I do not think we are so different.
  
  Take care because you are only 2.15% far from the country you´ve mention as the dangerous

  Jul 12 2012: I agree with you, but in the 3rd point. Because I think that the children should be free to choose a job even if his/her family has enough money, sometimes we just work for pleasure and for that the financial issue is not a problem...
  
  Cheers!

  Jul 12 2012: Currently in the U.S. there is a historical unemployment rate, the same happens in Spain, Greece, Portugal, etcetera. And those who are disadvantaged in this situation are generally professionals. For those who are used to working, we are ready to find a job to help us pay for every day.
  
  How could we tell a child to stop working because in 20 years he/she can get a better job, since this is no longer true in most countries. A school degree does not ensure a good job, and often not even a job.
  
  Smile!
