Committe: International Labour Organization Topic: Child Labour Country: Hungary =Child Labor in Hungary.=

Child Labor is work performed by a child that is hamful for himself. Child Labour affect to about 215 million of children in the world. In Hungary, as is a developed country, this dont affect so much as in other countries in Asia or Africa, but, as in all the countries, there is also problems with Child Labour.

In a huge part of the countries in the East of Europe there´s no laws about the children´s prostitution. In Bucarest, there are almost 2000 children that prostitute for an hamburger.In Hungary, the makeup teens between 13 and 14 years old, sell their body on the highways to the foreing motorists of occidental countries. It is estimate that almost 500 children prostitute in Budapest. The proportion of girls under 18 years old that prostitute, said by the police, is the 5-10% of the girls under 18 years old in Budapest. On 2003, the High Comissioner for Refugees in colaboration with the Goverment of Hungary established a house of refugees for the children under 18 years old to prevent them for been recruited by the dealers.On december of 2002, the Goverment signed a statement with other nations of the southeast of Europe to hel the victims of Child Labor.On the year 2000, the Goverment approve a plan against the sexual and comercial abuse of children. Children work as beggars in the urban zones and in the prostitution too according to the police of Budapest although the problem is unknown. Another consideration would be wondering the extent to which Hungary is developing in their efforts to be a "modern" europpean country, the regional newspaper Zalai Hirlap informed that an inspection of the work not cobert the sorprendent fact that tens of workers under of 18 years old like teens of 13 years old were working in the construction of the highway M7. According the newspaper, a representant anonymous of one of the teens of companies contracted to the construction of the road, was contracting teens from nearby villages, and only gave them 2000 pies (€8.70) for a large day working on the proyect.

I think that the police should control more children prostitution in Hungary, and Child labor too. But is too difficult because the dealers control it very well.
