Survey Reveals Hidden Child Labor in Belize Homes

A new national survey is exposing a reality many Belizeans don’t talk about. UNICEF and the Statistical Institute of Belize set out to measure how women and children are really living, and the early findings are alarming. Across thousands of homes, children as young as five aren’t just helping out. They’re working enough hours to be counted as child laborers. For kids five to eleven, even one hour of paid work a week, or more than twenty one hours of chores, meets that mark. Some are even handling dangerous tasks or unsafe tools. Child labor in Belize isn’t always in fields or factories. Sometimes, it’s happening quietly at home. SIB’s Wendy Benavides says this data finally gives Belize a clear way to recognize and talk about the problem. And she hopes that once more people see the scale of it, it will push the country toward real action.
