Child weavers / labour and the poverty

[dayspeace]

We can really see how poverty also play a major role in child labor. How children in order to help support and survive worked at early age even with a small amount of compensation.

[SmokeyCough]

why do they wear all that bling? surely it isn't real, right?..

[buiscuitishy]

They use kids because there fingers are small to get in between and therfre work faster, when your whole family is working it brings in more money too. I think its awful the way they treat kids, they have their childhood taken away.

where is this

[PassionRiverFilms]

Really good video!

[loveisgentle002]

55cent for all dis wrk comon mn dis wickeness where da heart

[reneh]

@loveisgentle002 umm, yeah, 55 cents in some countries is equal to hundreds of dollars in the US. It's not as if she makes 55 cents and then has to buy a cup of coffee from starbucks for $1.85 or pay $1500 a month for a one bedroom. Compare that 55 cents to what 55 cents is worth in that country. What you don't understand is that some people are categorized rich if they make 55 cents a day, what you and I wouldn't even bother to pick off the floor.

[mchigubu]

This is sad! Poverty is pervasive to childhood, as the rich keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer!  What a global imbalance!

[wolftime100]

I weave and I live in a large suburban neighborhood its not that bad and i only do it for some cash to save and spend on important things like a better bicycle. I also go to school and get great grades but i can't find any other work because of stupid child labor laws.

[Barrie562]

Good comment on your profile Tyler!

[TheInfinite91]

My goodness I was just skipping through this video coz it got boring, and then I thought, these KIDS have to do it 10hours a day, I wonder how bored they must be.

[martini9799]

not bored mate only tired a lot for not even a buck a day........ shock

[bearfeetz]

if they live on a dollar a day it's because they can. it's no beverly hills but cost of living is relative.

[TheInfinite91]

I see your point, but they still live in a hole.

[Bigjohnnywad]

All these do gooder Brits..crack me up!!! Most of the worlds child abusers are from England and Australia... Like the hen guarding the chicken house !!! LOL LOL LOL LOL

[fuckinfrankwhite]

[teoem9083]

Idiot. Whay do you continue to post these retarded videos? she's helping her family out, and in most countries, most girls would ratheer stay at home and help, anyway. Get a freakin' life!

[IndyMoon777]

You know, when you put fake ass vidoes up about this sort of thing, you're NOT HELPING! She's not being abused or forced into labor, idiot! She's helping her family out! She's doing something she, obviously, enjoys doing and makeing money, to boot!  Get a frickin' GRIP!

[dg4rez]

55 cents a day, but she has more bling on her wrists than 99.9% of americans.

[JWatsL]

Bling? Have you seen those bracelets they wear? I have, and they are made out of scrap metal.

[martini9799]

so go to work for 50 cents u will not even wake up in morning huh for thtcaind of money

[dfhfdefdecf]

meh... it only seems that bad cause people in america are so lazy they wouldnt even think about doing that

[foxceegir1]

the work seems tedious. I agree with the person who made the video on making higher/reasonable pay instead of barely nothing

I am amazed at how some of you people are so arrogant, selfish and pitiable. I find it unbelievable that anyone can crack a joke of any sort with the current state of bonded labourers in developing countries.

[sadashivan]

I do not think it bonded labour she is helping hand to parents family affairs, In many developing countries girls are less preferred for schooling so like them to stay at home and become helping hand

[alawrence3]

I don't doubt that she maybe helping her family.

However, in most countries you will find the police and governments taking girls and boys out of school to work in the industry at busier production times - not their families.

It is no life for a child and many of them are often abused both physically and sexually (in factories) and paid far less than the minimum wage - even if child labour is illegal.

My complaint is towards the ignorant comments that people have left.

[justaguy123456]

It seems like she has learned a good and practical skill. And look at all that fancy expensive jewelry she is wearing.

[gangesgal]

right ... the 4th graders in liverpool and boston should also be exclusively following that good and practical curriculum btw those are cheap glass bangles genius ...

[ashleyapashley95]

poverty is one thing we can never eliminate, but we can do something. we should help as best we can.

[pkiboi]

YouCvnt that was totally not cool, dude.

[nafiskhan47]

This is cold burning problem of india because corrupt polititian & equally responsible media also

[andywattbolb]

at least she's doing something....my kids just sit in front of the tv all day

[ariakokoschka]

So why not send them to India... I think you need to get off your sorry ass and tell them to do something.

[andywattbolb]

no fucking sence of humor at all...

[YouBummyAssNigga]

lol i know right

[YouBummyAssNigga]

shes such a pretty little girl. shes to pretty to be workign at that age. i pray to God she doesnt get lied to into another job sayin it will pay her good only to be kidnapped into some child sex slave ring. it happens people

[miizJimina]

omg this is so mean.& I learned something from this vedio - that is to take advantage of going to school instead of complaining about it -

[palyerzzz]

people wake up, youtube needs more sweatshop videos not 50 cent videos.

[indulf]

In the West, compulsory schooling is a form of tyranny. Some Children should be free to become apprentices in their early teens.

[schlagerhansi]

That's right. That girl certainly doesn't consider herself as a child who should go to school, but as a grown up person, and a skilled worker. She's wearing 40 kangan-bangles on her arms, so she's certainly not exploited.

[harkpau]

this video showed the children were exploited because they were poor. what can she buy with her $0.50 a day pay. wearing bangles does not mean they are not exploited. wear her shoes for a day.

[schlagerhansi]

Apparently, you don't know India, and you don't know what real poverty is. In India, even I could survive on 25 Rp a day; Indians can on 5-10 Rp. She's certainly not more "exploited" than any grown up weaver/worker in Indian, so it's not a problem of child labor.

[harkpau]

You are contradicting yourself. On one hand the video you posted explore the issue of poverty and children have to work to supplement family income. Then you justified Indian can live on 5 - 10 Rp. a day. When a child has to work at a tender age, what is the chance for this child to break out of the poverty cycle?

[harkpau]

We are in 2007. India is an economic giant. Stop justifying poverty, caste inopportunities and women inequality in the ingrained culture. Children, everywhere, should have the opportunities for a better life.

[gomeny]

Seriously this a adam smith white cock loving south asian!

The way to end feudalism is to remove the robber barons. The military traditionally keep the bad guys in power.
