A Day In The Life of A Child From Argentina

The life of an 12 year old from Argentina consists of schooling that can start as late as the age of 6 years old. Usually, children cannot make it through to secondary school and have to begin working in fields.

The day starts at 8a.m. then ends at noon but some students start their day at 1p.m. and end at 5p.m. Argentina

The poverty levels have started to grow so quickly that they have exceeded the population. Influenced largely by the food industry, most children go off to work in food production in order to support their families in these rough times.
