A very important topic that we have not discussed in this class is child labor. It is estimated that about 150 million children around the world fit into the category of being a child laborer. When children are working at a young age, they miss out on education, are often exposed to harmful circumstances, and may have psychological problems in the future (Vice, 2013). There are different ways to address this issue, such as improving adult education (Ersado, 2004).
