No access to education: Boys and girls who cannot study are more likely to become victims of child labor, since going to school allows them to preserve their future opportunities.
All of this has been promoted in Mexico for years and today the problem has made our country stand out.
According to an annual analysis carried out by the United States government, Mexico has entered the list of the worst forms of child labor in the 2020 edition.
The analysis reports that there are abuses in Chile Mobile Number List specific sectors in more than 145 countries , however, our country is combining child labor and forced labor in the area of agriculture , specifically in the production of tomatoes and chili peppers.
We see occupational risks in tomatoes and chilies in the coming years.
Aldo Mares Benavides, vice president of Labor Welfare of the National Agricultural Council (CNA).
Among the places where this activity and forced labor spreads the most are:
Sinaloa: tomato, chili, cucumbers, sugar cane, green beans, eggplant and chili pepper.
Jalisco: tomato.
Guanajuato: cucumbers and chili pepper.
Sonora: Cucumbers, onions, melon and chili pepper.
Baja California: cucumbers, onions, green beans, eggplants, tobacco and melon.
Nayarit: Green beans and tobacco.
Baja California Sur: Melon.
CDMX: Melon.
However, it should be noted that the information obtained by said analysis is not a surprise.
Surprise? Not at all…
According to the INEGI , it is estimated that to date 3.2 million girls and boys between 5 and 17 years of age work in non-permitted economic activities such as the one mentioned, and of the minors who work, none meet the minimum age to do so:
17.9% of minors do not attend school and 55.1% are in dangerous work.
A fact that can lead to physical and psychological consequences such as chronic illnesses and ailments, malnutrition, injuries derived from the activity, as well as the use of tools inappropriate for their age, as well as abuse by the adults who are with them.
In addition to this, by spending a lot of time in a hostile and violent environment, far from the protection and protection of their families, boys and girls can present stress, low levels of self-esteem and lack of hope in the future.
According to the report on the 2020 List, Eugene Scalia, US Secretary of Labor, stated that the USMCA (Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada) gives the DOL's Office of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) another opportunity significant impact as the agency works with key business partners to increase and strengthen labor protections through technical assistance, capacity-building projects, and cutting-edge research.
The USMCA explicitly requires each country to prohibit the importation of goods made with forced labor, and ILAB's research and reporting will play a key role in implementing this provision.
Aldo Mares Benavides, vice president of Labor Welfare of the National Agricultural Council (CNA).
For its part, the International Labor Organization (ILO) had already established June 12 as the World Day against Child Labor to highlight the global situation of working boys and girls and which aims to act as a catalyst for the growing global movement against child labor, however, both the indicators of the study carried out by the US, as well as the INEGI statistics, show insignificant progress, at least in Mexico.
