Title: Child Labour by the International Labour Organization in July 2017

This article states that over two hundred and eighteen million children ranges between five years and seventeen years are subjects to child labour (Bhargava, 54). Boy child happens to be the most children who are at child labour risk when in comparison to a girl child. The article states that the population of children who are under child labour can form a country on their own. Measures are underway to reduce child labour and make sure that children acquire education.

The two articles have similarities that they both talk about a boy child being at a higher risk of being subjects to child labour. It is a similarity that is significant because we understand that various organizations are concerned about child labour. The first article does not give us the exact number of children who are subjects to child labour. Despite the report not giving us the correct amount, it makes us aware that children are subjects to child labour.

Title: Prevalence and risk factors for child labour by Khaled Khatab. May 2019

The article talks about the effects of children who are subjects to child labour (United States, 12). Significant risk factor includes the social-economic and demographic factors like neglect, poverty, and exposing children to several types of violence, inadequate care, and status of the parental education, residence place, and size of the household, residence size and kind, index on wealth, household size and parental supervision.

The article has similarities with the previous article since they all talk about the effects that come along with child labour (Nangia, 23). These effects are either psychological or physical effects. It is a significant similarity because we see that it is not one or two organizations that have concerns on the impact that child labour causes.
