The United States Department of Labor's latest report also says children engage in dangerous tasks in street vending.

Their research found no evidence of laws to stop using, procuring, or offering children for illicit activities, including for the production and trafficking of drugs.

Children who participate in street vending may work long hours, late at night, be exposed to exhaust fumes, and have an increased risk of being hit by passing traffic.

This is why he places great importance on the duties of the Police and the Ministry of Education Sports and Culture to ensure children are inside classrooms instead of the side of the roads.

The report says that despite the passing of the Compulsory Education Act, the number of child street vendors continues to grow.

In presenting the paper, attorney Loukinikini Vili says a significant emotional and mental burden is placed upon children when they have to take on financial responsibilities for their families' livelihood.
