Illegal Child Labor Often Occurs.

With the intensification of labor shortage, enterprises have been recruiting in recent years. Child labor The phenomenon occurs frequently.

Guo Jun, Secretary General of the General Secretariat, said in February 2nd that although there was no large-scale forced labor and illegal child employment in recent years, there were still different forms of forced labor and illegal child labor in some areas and some industries, some of which were rather bad in nature. For example, the illegal use of child labour cases in Shenzhen and Polytron Technologies Inc in 2014.

It is understood that Shenzhen Creek Polytron Technologies Inc has been investigated and illegally used dozens of Sichuan Yi children workers, working for up to 12 hours a day, with a monthly wage of only 2000 yuan. The electronic Co., Ltd. Illegal When the Yi child labor was reported, the factory leader transferred some suspected child laborers to rooftops, trying to hide the truth.

After that, the government sent the children back to their hometown. But it is puzzling that some children are reluctant to leave. Media survey found that half of the school age in a large village in Liangshan, Sichuan. children Drop out of school and go out to work. As for why we have to go to work, a drop out school student said he was still studying in the village before, but the teacher did not come often, but he did not learn anything at all.

In this regard, some experts pointed out that an important reason for the phenomenon of child labor is that in some economically backward rural areas, inadequate investment in compulsory education has led to poor children dropping out of school and working outside to subsidize their families. Two, because minors are well managed and paid less, some enterprises are not paying attention to their interests, ignoring national laws and regulations, and conscientious use of child labor. Three, the relevant departments do not supervise enough, and have not found the phenomenon of illegal child labor in time, and have been corrected and punished.

In addition, the use of internship and practical training for children under the age of 16 as a child laborer has been repeatedly exposed by the media.

In August 2014, more than 60 junior middle school graduates from Maoming, Guangdong, were recruited into a vocational high school. They were not formally enrolled. They were taken to Dongguan for a summer job by a teacher in a packaging factory. They were taken into a packing factory by a teacher who took advantage of the seniors' identity.

A teacher at the vocational high school said that all the students were under 16 years old. Because they had no ID cards, they had prepared some copies of their account books for senior students. They were all over 16 years old. Because the factory deliberately lowered the wages, so that the leading teachers were intolerable, they finally reported to the labor department.

In this regard, Vice Minister of education Lu Xin in the comprehensive improvement of vocational education personnel training quality video conference, on individual provinces vocational colleges to send underage students to low-end enterprise internship, training, criticized the phenomenon, must not allow vocational school students as child labor. Lu Xin, on behalf of the Ministry of education, reiterated that in the future there will be problems in using vocational school students as child laborers. The Ministry of education will carry out national notification and prosecute the vocational colleges and enterprises violating the People's Republic of China labor law.
