The exploitation of child labor is common in developing countries and emerging countries like Brazil, where the poorest regions in this work is quite common. Most oftenthis occurs because of the need to help the family financially. Many of these families are generally of poor people who have many children.
Despite the existence of laws that prohibit this type of work officially, is common in large Brazilian cities the presence of minors at intersections of roads with heavy traffic, selling goods in small monetary value.
Although parents are officially responsible for their children, it is not customary forjudges to punish them. The action of justice applies more to those who hire minors, yet the sentences are not actually applied.

In the agricultural environment, this fact increases mainly due to factors such as financial difficulties usually generated by the drought, forcing minors to work in different work(gardens, quarries, trade) seeking to improve the family income.
According to the survey, the range of 5 to 17 years of age, the number of thoseemployed increased from 11.8% in 2004 to 12.2% in 2005, although these data do not alter the downward trend that has been registered 1995 to 2005.
More than 5 million young people between 5 and 17 years of age work in Brazil, according to recent research by the IBGE, although the law establishing 16 as the minimum age for entry into the labor market.
In the last decade, the Brazilian government has ratified international conventions on the subject and the fight against child labor has become a priority on the national agenda.
