 Child labor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also, after the Child Labor Deterrence Act was introduced in the US an estimated 50,000 children were dimissed from their garment industry jobs in Bangladesh, leaving many to resort to jobs such as "stone-crushing, street hustling, and prostitution," --"all of them more hazardous and exploitatitive than garment production" according to a UNICEF study.
Child labor prohibition has to address the dual challenge of providing children with both short-term income and long-term prospects for a sustainable future.
Other forms of work include helping in the parents' business or having one's own small "business", like cleaning car windows, shining shoes, selling small items such as cigarettes, etc. Some children work as a guide for tourists, sometimes combined with working for owners of shops and restaurants, bringing tourists to these businesses.

 Children’s Rights Division - Street Children Home Page
Few advocates speak up for these children, and few street children have family members or concerned individuals willing and able to intervene on their behalf.
Clearly, even where there are advocates willing and able to assist street children in seeking justice, police accountability and an end to the abuses will not be achieved without the commitment of governments.
While street children receive national and international public attention, that attention has been focused largely on the social, economic and health problems of the children -- poverty, lack of education, AIDS, prostitution, and substance abuse.

The Haitian National Labor Code makes it illegal only to use children under 12 as restaveks and obligates owners to pay for a medical exam for restaveks every six months, but they usually cannot or will not afford medical care for restaveks.
Most owners are reluctant to send restaveks to public school not only because they have to pay for books and uniforms but, more importantly, they lose those hours the child could be working.
There are even a few restaveks who work for families that live in the street,

For centuries this area was home to some of the poorest and most desperate people to be found in London and it was a measure of increasing civilisation that in 1931 what are now known as the Marshall Street Baths were opened to "improve the health and wellbeing of the local people".
Down a second staircase, you have left the baths, and ventured on to the streets.
There were two swimming pools, slipper baths for those without facilities at home, a public laundry and a child welfare centre.

Living on the street should not be considered an option for these children but rather taken as an early accident in their lives – a time when they had to fight for their living under adverse circumstances.
In all cases, the street becomes a viable alternative due to the simple fact that there is no suitable place for poor children and adolescents to go – no options for them in their communities.
Thus, when we say "street child" and "abandoned youth" we are referring to the intersection between poor children and the street.

 Child
A street child is a child that lives on the street, in particular one that is not taken care of by parents or other adults, and also sleeps on the street because he or she does not have a home.
A female child is called a girl and a male child is a boy (though a small percentage of humans are intersexual, this is a distinction of biological sex, not necessarily social or psychological gender).
Child development is the study or examination of processes and mechanisms that operate during the physical and mental development of an infant into an adult.
