UN: 19% of Afghan children are working
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs states that 19% of Afghan children are laborers.
According to the report from this UN body, released on the International Day Against Child Labor, the number of child laborers has increased in Afghanistan since the Taliban took power.
This organization has expressed concern that child labor among Afghan children deprives them of the opportunity for learning, growth, and well-being in the future.
