8. El Salvador 69.0%
We are continuing our list of countries that have the most child labor with El Salvador that fights many different problems that lead to an ever growing child labor issue. A majority of children that work in the fields are boys. Not only do they come from rural families, but they come from female-headed households. Children rights don’t seem to exist at all in El Salvador, leaving children to work long hours in garbage recycling and many other dangerous fields. Because there are no penalties for child labor violations, gangs use children for various illicit activities.
