Child labour mostly happens in developing and underdeveloped countries but it does happen in the USA and South America and although it is rare for child labour in Canada it has been heard of before. Child labour is common in China, Japan and other countries in Asia. It sometimes happens in Europe but is way more common in Africa, where food, water, and money are not as easy to obtain.

Child labor would have happened because of a shortage of workers in conjunction with available children who worked for very little to no money. This continued over time and became a social problem.

In poor areas of some countries, families who need a source of income send their children to work in factories. These factories usually have very low pay, unsafe working conditions, and unfair working hours. Even if it is reported, many governments won't do anything about it.
