#Childlabour has risen for the first time in 20 years, the #UnitedNations said on Thursday, with one in 10 children in work worldwide and millions more at risk due to #COVID-19. The number of child labourers has increased to 160 million from 152 million in 2016, with the greatest rise in #Africa due to population growth, crises and poverty, said the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF).

I am trying to marry and have children to leave my signature in this world but don’t know what is happening with me .After looking people having children without resources I think UNO may investigate this matter.

Sure, why not? Haven't sociologists and economists taunted children about being economically worthless for a long time? Shouldn't they cheer when youths are finally economically worthy again?
