BACKROUND I. Construction, trade, military, services, and manufacturing are some of examples of child labor that is seen in many countries. Asia is the country with more child labor than other countries, which comes with a 61% and is followed by Africa; with a 32%, then Latin America with a 7%, and lastly, with U.S.A and Europe with a 1%. Nations around the world have a corrupt opinion about child labor and think that by doing this horrible action the development of the nations around the world will get better, however the most common reason why child labour exists is because o the agriculture. Poverty is also a cause, because it exists in many nations around the world and children whant to help provide their families expectations. Child labour is a serious problem because it prevents children from having education, and a happy infant life like it should be.

UN INVOLVEMENT II. "All children need protection, love and tenderness!" This is how the UN thinks about child labour. Since poverty, and the need for service are the main reasons of the existence of child laborer, the UN has wanted to provide the necesary for all countries, so this problem does not continue.The convention of the UN on the Rights os the Child, recognizes the right of children to be protected from all the labour explotation, of any forced work that can be harming to their health and physical, mrntal, espiritual, moral or social development. Also, the ILO ( International Labour Organization ) and it's partners stand for a world whre no girl or the boys ae forced to work when their health and development are being taken away.

COUNTRIES INVOLMENT III. H.E. Mrs. Vilma Espin Guillios, who is the head of the delegation of the Repulic of Cuba writes on the 27th special session ot hte General Assembly of the United Nations on children, very confiddent that Cuba has done what it can to stop this problem. " In Cuba, since the beginning of the Revolution, NOTHING HAS BEEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN A CHILD, and health and education have been free for the whole population.'Although our country has very economic limitations, the government is doing the impossible to provide all the famiklies the necessary, and give the women in pregnacy the best service possibly so the new borns, born healthy. Cuba thinks "it is extremely urgent to unite the enormous accumulation of wealth in the world, theimmense fund of intelligence and the positive will to crete a more just world, where men and women can see their daughters and sons grow up without the dreadful threats that endanger the whole creative work of humanity today."

SOLUTIONS IIII. Since the main reason of child labour is faily economic problems, Cuba proposes a new organization, which objective will be to reduce the encreasing of child labour and to provide the necessities and services of all failies around the world. This UNFO ( United Nations Family Organization ) has a purpose, and that purpose is to unite all families and individuals so they have just one opinoin about child labour, that it is a horrible way to violet humans rights and specially a horrible way to slave our important children. This organization will be sure that every family has waht they need to survive, be healthy, and happy. It would be of importance to have this organization around the world. It would surely help to see our lovely children grow up happily and safe.
