UNICEF Yemen Children face the future Child Labor
Selling honey on the side of the road in Yemen is a touch and go business. And at thirteen years old Abdou knows about the vagaries of drive by commerce. But, if camping out on the road to Taiz may seem difficult, Nagi's job is altogether more strenuous. He toils under the Aden sun and fixes tires under his boss's watchful eye. More than ten percent of the workforce in Yemen are children. They are sometimes as young as six years old. And they take on Adult jobs. When they arrive in the cities many don't find work and end up begging... like Badr, who spends his day trying to beg from passing cars. And when they end up on the street, they are often picked up by the police and interred here in bunker like detention centers for months or years. It is not just the hope of a job that leads them to the city.
