Child labor violates the rights of children
enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) of the United
Nations (UN), but also reproduces poverty in our country. In Peru, this type of
work is not a novelty, but historical studies reveal that until the 1990s it
was viewed with indifference by governments and other instances of society. The
present research ˇ°Child labor and poverty in Punoˇ±, has as objective: Determine
the association between child labor and reproduction of family poverty in Puno.
The study areas have been selected, taking into account the places with the
highest concentration of children who carry out economic activities with their
parents: The area of Salcedo ˇ°the brickworks in the Rinconadaˇ±, Jr. Los
Incas and the surroundings of the stadium ˇ°ETBˇ±, the Bellavista market and
Mercado Union and Dignidad, as well as some parks and main streets where they
carry out their economic activities informally. The Study Method is inductive
of correlational-longitudinal design. Sample: The universe
of the population under study is made up of adults who were formerly street
children and adolescents in the city of Puno. Results: Child labor interferes in many ways: First, it
decapitalizes in two to three years of study approximately with respect to
those that do not work; second, the effort that work demands them has a
negative impact on school continuity in the future. When not reaching the
expected level in education, the possibility of repetition increases, which in
turn generates delay and facilitates the desertion and consequently by the
constant repetitions and desertions makes possible the definitive abandonment
of the school. Therefore, child labor in the current conditions is twice the
fundamental rights of children, places conditions of informality when they are
adults and reproduces family poverty in our country in a generational manner.
