Child labor in Peru Child labor in Peru is a serious problem. Nowadays, nobody can deny that the number of children working on the streets continues increasing. We have to be aware about the situation that our country is facing. If I had the opportunity of change this terrible situation, I would do everything possible to overcome it. For instance, if I were the Minister of Education, I would develop programs to eliminate child labor. Our government must take quick decisions to eradicate the child labor. I'm convinced that this situation doesn't change due to the inefficiency of the government. If our current President had wanted to make a big change, he would have taken inmediate decisions to do it. We have to educate our children. They must study and learn in schools instead of risking their lifes on streets.
