Healthy eating tip 1: Set yourself up for success To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think. Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. This way it should be easier to make healthy choices.

Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious. Think of water and exercise as food groups in your diet. Water. Exercise. Healthy eating tip 2: Moderation is key People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation for any healthy diet is moderation.

"Child labor" is, generally speaking, work for children that harms them or exploits them in some way (physically, mentally, morally, or by blocking access to education). BUT: There is no universally accepted definition of "child labor".

Varying definitions of the term are used by international organizations, non-governmental organizations, trade unions and other interest groups. Writers and speakers don’t always specify what definition they are using, and that often leads to confusion. Not all work is bad for children. Some social scientists point out that some kinds of work may be completely unobjectionable — except for one thing about the work that makes it exploitative. For instance, a child who delivers newspapers before school might actually benefit from learning how to work, gaining responsibility, and a bit of money. But what if the child is not paid? International conventions also define "child labor" as activities such as soldiering and prostitution. Back to Top. Statistics by Area - Child labour. Last update: Jan 2013 Millions of children work to help their families in ways that are neither harmful nor exploitative.

But many children are put to work in ways that often interfere with their education, drain their childhood of joy and crush their right to normal physical and mental development. Such work is considered harmful to the child and should therefore be eliminated. Nearly one in six children aged 5–14 are engaged in child labour in the worldPercentage of children aged 5–14 engaged in child labour at the time of the survey, by region Note: Estimates based on a subset of 91 countries covering 71% of the population of children aged 5-14 in the world (excluding China, for which comparable data are not available in UNICEF global databases).

Regional estimates represent data from countries covering at least 50% of the regional population.Source: UNICEF global databases, 2012. What is child labour. Not all work done by children should be classified as child labour that is to be targeted for elimination. Children’s or adolescents’ participation in work that does not affect their health and personal development or interfere with their schooling, is generally regarded as being something positive. This includes activities such as helping their parents around the home, assisting in a family business or earning pocket money outside school hours and during school holidays. These kinds of activities contribute to children’s development and to the welfare of their families; they provide them with skills and experience, and help to prepare them to be productive members of society during their adult life.

The term “child labour” is often defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development.
