Child labor is increasing and becoming more dangerous in Brazil

Work is prohibited for children under 13 years old and is only permitted as a young apprentice between 14 and 15 years old

Between 2019 and 2022, child labor grew by 7% in Brazil. There are 1.9 million Brazilians in this situation, 66% of whom are black and brown and 65% male.

Work is prohibited for children under 13 years of age and is only permitted as a young apprentice between 14 and 15 years of age. But the reality is that we have countless examples of children aged five and under working, with 32% working forty hours or more per week.

What’s worse are 756 thousand who carry out dangerous activities and this share is also growing over the period. All this also got worse due to a government decision in 2019. Understand the situation in this video.
