Worst Countries for Child Labour

This map shows the ten worst places where child labour exists. Each of them is categorized as extreme. They will also each have a number from one to ten, one will mean it's the worst, and ten will mean it is the least bad out of the ten.

Just in case the map bugs out -

Eritrea

Unfortunately, no information talking about the rate or how many children engage in child labour can be found. I can, however, tell you that this is one of the two worst countries in the world for child labour. I can, in fact, tell you that the children are forced into military services and those in grades 9 - 12 that are under 18 to participate in a program called Maetot. Maetot where they are forced into compulsory labour in agricultural, environmental, and hygiene-related public works projects. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 1. 

Somalia

An exact percentage of the entirety of Somalia seems to be something I cannot find. I can tell you, however, in Somaliland, a region of Somalia, the percentage of children of ages 5 - 14 participating in child labour is 13.2%. In Puntland, another region of Somalia, the percentage is a little bit lower at 9.5%. The children in labour are forced into armed conflict and other jobs such as street jobs like shining shoes or washing cars. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 1. 

The Democratic Republic of the Congo

As far as I have learned about these countries, I personally think this country is one of the worst. Children are forced into armed conflict and work in the terrible conditions of the mines. 35.8% of the children in this country are workers. 37.1% of them combine working and school, this 37.1% is only the children from ages 7 - 14, while the other is for ages 5 - 14. In the mines, these children are forced to mine for gold, diamonds, tin ore, tungsten ore and many other materials. They spend hours mining with the toxic gases and barely get 
anything out of it. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a 
number 3. 
Myanmar

Myanmar's working children amount to about 312,000 and each of them work in so many different areas of forced labour. They have agriculture, where they harvest plants such as bamboo and sugar cane. They have child soldiers and children used for sexual exploitation. They have children forced to mine for ruby and jade. They have children who work in brick kilns, And, finally, they have children forced into industry work, where they are forced to make the garments we wear. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a 
number 3. 

Sudan

This information is not entirely accurate as the information provided only referenced to Southern Sudan and no the entire country. 45.6% of the children from ages 10 - 14 are forced into labour, this amount to around 463,600 children. 60.2% of said children are forced into labour to do with agriculture, which in Southern Sudan includes typical farming and harvesting, as well as cattle herding. The children are also forced into services such as collection, cooking and cleaning, this is 1.6% per cent of the children. The other 38.2% of children work in industry work, this includes working in brick kilns, 
construction and mining of gold and mining to create excavation 
tunnels. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 3. 

Afghanistan

Afghanistan children forced into child labour work with things such as making bricks, making carpets, mining coal and salt, and harvesting poppies. They have just recently outlawed bacha bazi, a practice involving exploiting boys, often through violence or threats. There is also what is called the Taliban, a military training service for children,  the government rescued nearly 40 children from a madrassa where they were the victims of the practices. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 6. 

Pakistan

This information may be incorrect as the only information provided references only to two provinces of Pakistan, the Punjab Province and the Sindh Province, this is because with the information I have all of Pakistan's information is 'unavailable'. Pakistan is mainly known for the forced (bonded) labour in the industry, this includes carpet-making factories, brick kilns and mining of coal, salt and other materials. When it comes to agriculture the children are forced into harvesting produce such as cotton, wheat, sugar cane and potatoes and other produce. It also includes managing of livestock and fishing. 
This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 6. 

Zimbabwe

Once again not much information can be provided from my source, so I hope I give enough information. Because of the lack of effort in the program to stop forced child labour in Zimbabwe, there are still thousands of children forced into harvesting and growing crops, mining while surrounded by dangerous chemicals, domestic and street work, and the worst, sexual exploitation and drug trafficking and gambling. This is not even the end of it, there are still other forms of forced labour in Zimbabwe that have not been prevented, all because of the gaps that remain in the countries legalities. This is 
categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 8.

Yemen

Yemen does not have as many forms of child labour, but it definitely has some of the worst forms of labour. These include commercial sexual exploitation and armed conflict. Another common form of labour is fishing. But there are still forms of labour Yemen has that fall under agriculture, industry and services. Besides fishing agriculture is mainly just farming and hunting. The industry is comprised of various labours such as mining and quarrying, construction and carpentry and welding workshops. Services mainly include domestic work, street work and selling goods. The children forced into labour, from ages 5 -14, make up to be around 834,000 in numbers. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 9.

Burundi

In Burundi, there are around 2,000,000 children who work, and the population of working children, from the ages of 5 - 14, is 31.2%. Children forced into work in Burundi work in some of the worst conditions and are even sexually exploited. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 10.

Nigeria

I personally believe Nigeria is the worst. 31.1% of the children ages 5 - 14 do child labour, this makes up to be around 13,900,000 of them. Agricultural labour includes the production of tobacco, rice and cocoa, fishing and the herding of livestock. Industrial labour includes mining and quarrying granite and gravel, gold mining and processing, harvesting sand, and construction-related labour. Service labour often is domestic work, collecting money on public buses, and automotive repair, as well as street work, which is mainly scavenging and begging. Finally, there are the worst forms, commercial sexual exploitation, often included the production of pornography, use in illicit activities, such as forced recruitment into armed groups that force them into drug trafficking, armed robbery and other illicit ventures. This is categorised as extreme and ranked as a number 10.
