Child workers in Thai seafood industry face hazards, injuries – report
Children employed in Thailand’s seafood processing industry are more exposed to workplace hazards such as fire or gas, and twice as likely to be injured than minors working in other industries, experts said on 14 September.
Under Thai law, the minimum age of employment is 15 years, but many younger children – including migrant children from neighbouring Myanmar – are working illegally and not attending school, they said.
