child labor, slave wages

Or in this case, actual child slavery - a lot of these children have been kidnapped (sometimes from neighbouring countries), trafficked to a plantation, and made to work for free.

I think people like to imagine that these are all kids working alongside mum and dad for subsistence wages for their families but the reality is often much, much bleaker than that.
