Child Labor(Third Topic) About Topic: “On the current events in Yemen, is it acceptable to use child labor in order to raise the livelihood of economically damaged families?”
Selection Method: Recommendation, this happened after the increasing numbers of labor children on the street. Many discussions happened after public events happened accordingly about whether is it ethical or not to do such an act during these hard times and the deprivation of salaries and inflation of currency. And most importantly, many people do not know the confusion the Yemeni law creates; it is full of contradictories, therefore creating a law with no features. Yemeni law considers the child as who is less than 18 while at the same time child law emphasizes that Puberty mean that a person is not a child anymore, even at the age of 12 for example hence these law are not applicable on people with male or female puberty eventually the child laws are not applicable on this category of people making the Yemeni child law a vague legislation.
