United Nations Photo: Child Labor Worldwide: It's Still a Problem

United Nations Photo: Child Labor Worldwide: It's Still a Problem: Most nations have laws that prohibit child labor. Yet throughout the world, children in large number can be seen toiling in sweatshops, hauling concrete, tilling fields, plucking garbage or peddling shoes. In 1979, the year the United Nations designated as the International Year of the Child, numerous studies revealed an estimated 56 million children under 15 working for little or no pay in Asia, Africa and Latin America alone. In many cities in particular, they are often thrown into hostile, impersonal urban jungles in a daily struggle for survival.br/br/A boy loads a fifth heavy brick on a young girl’s back in a Bogota brick factory. The children take the job because they need to live; their employers hire them because they come cheap. Some children work for as little as six cents a day. [No exact date]

United Nations Photo: Human Settlements – The Places Where People Live and Work

United Nations Photo: Human Settlements – The Places Where People Live and Work: One of the main purposes of the UN Conference-Exposition on Human Settlements held in Vancouver, Canada, in June 1976, was to bring to the world’s attention the nature and relative importance of the problems of human settlements against a background of widespread concern for the whole of our earthly environment – natural and man-made. Two of the most critical problems of society today – made increasingly urgent by the rapid rise in the world’s population - are the shortage of adequate housing and the deterioration of the conditions under which people live and work. Many cities, particularly in the poorer countries of the world, are unable to provide adequate housing, food, sanitation, work and other essential services for all the people flocking to them in search of a better life. Rural settlements are being abandoned and neglected. Urbanization is not an evil in itself. The process can be guided and converted into a positive factor in development. Economic development and an improvement in the quality of human life need not be competing alternatives. They are both vital and in the common interest of all mankind.br/br/A shoe-shine boy in Athens.

United Nations Photo: USI/FAO Project for Improvement in the Production of Fruits and Vegetables: The Unione Scolastica Internazionale (USI), Italian section of the International Confederation for United School, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in collaboration with the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, are carrying out a project for the improvement of the production of fruits and vegetables in Kinshasa. This project will tend to solve two essential problems: one, of an agricultural nature, the other, of a social nature. The problem in agriculture is the insufficiency in the production of fruits and vegetables needed for a growing population of about 1,500,000 people in the Congolese capital, where the dietary conditions in large sectors of the city leave much to be desired. The social problem has to do with the rural exodus towards Kinshasa which explains the existence of thousands of unemployed in the capital. The latter could find a solution to their difficulties if they were to learn to work on uncultivated and tillable land. In all 1,000 families and approximately 1,000 young boys and girls will benefit each year from this project meant to honour the memory of Italian aviators and all the soldiers who fought for peace serving for the United Nations in the Congo. br/br/A view of the nursery at the Kingasani Centre for Agricultural Training.
