Abstract

Child labor is a common problem. Both physicaland mental-psychological diseases are seen more frequently among the child laborers than among their non-working counterparts. It is known that the exposure to toxic substances at the doses that do not cause clinical symptoms in adults may lead to serious disease symptoms and developmental disorders in children. According to the International Labor Organization’s ILO data for the year 2012, worldwide employment rate for children aged 5-17 years, who engaged in an economical activity was 16.7 % and the incidence of child labor illegal employment of children was 10.6 %. It was found that about half of all child laborers were in hazardous work. In Turkey, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute’s 2012 data, a total of 893.000 5.9 % children aged 6-17 years were recorded as the children in employment. These children work in agriculture, industry and service sector with the rates of 44.7 %, 24.3 % and 31 %, respectively. Given the high incidence of child labor, the physicians practising in the specialty areas relevant to children’s health and diseases should take a good history of work and work environment and have knowledge about the environmental exposures commonly encountered and the occupational diseases. The children in employment are at risk of neurological diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders. In order to reduce these risks, the social and legal efforts towards eliminating child labor should be carried out and preventive and therapeutic healthcare services should also be improved to solve existing problems; besides, the gaps in relevant medical knowledge should be filled.
