Since always, children have been exploited in different ways and for distinctive kinds of work as it exists many sorts of job that kids are doing. Considering the ILO's statistics on child labour, it seems to have decreased since a couple of years but the figures are still so frightening as 168 million of children are working, what corresponds to 1 out of 7 kids. The most alarming thing is that a half of them are engaged in hazardous work that is to say a work that includes "physical, psychological or sexual abuse, work underground, underwater, at dangerous heights or in confined spaces, work with dangerous machinery, work with hazardous materials, work with long hours including night work" (Child Labour, 2013).
