Child labor perpetuates poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, population growth, and other social problems.

Child slavery is a crime against humanity. Humanity itself is at stake here. A lot of work still remains, but I will see the end of child labor in my lifetime.

There is a triangular relationship between poverty, child labour and illiteracy who have a cause and consequence relationship. We will have to break this vicious circle.

It is not easy to lower unemployment as you have people migrating from the countryside and also have population growth.

All the problems of the world - child labor, corruption - are symptoms of a spiritual disease: lack of compassion.

There will be increased morbidity, mortality and stunted growth. Social problems, such as prostitution and child labor, will increase and refugees may become uncontrollable as a result of the food cuts.
