africa
70% of children and adults work in very poor conditions. 32% of all children in the world work in Africa. Only rich children go to school, so more kids are working as slaves, farmers, maids, and other poor jobs. Most children do not get paid and are very overworked. Africa does not have a law saying not to do this because they are so poor as a country.
