Children and Work

England could be growing richer using the workforce of schoolchildren who are working too young. Perhaps England has about a million children workers.

A national study that will be organised by specialist Chris Pond, will find out if employers are making young people do difficult work for a child's wages.

Mr. Pond says the aim of the study is not to stop children's work. He thinks many young people enjoy working - and they especially enjoy the pocket money they earn. However, they may also be paid less money. They risk being in danger and they miss school very often.

Six weeks ago the Government started a campaign against children missing classes, with a plan to punish parents who allow their children not to go to school regularly. Politicians were shocked by a new report which showed as many a seven out of 10 children who don't go to school at least once a month.

Through his study, Mr. Pond also hopes to find out what children spend their money on. 'I don't expect to find that they are working to help their families- although some might be. Most are likely to be spending money on compact discs and sporting clothes for themselves,' he said.
