CHILD LABOUR
No prizes for guessing which one of the Crossroads Assessment questions
wehave chosen to explore here:
“60% of the world’s cobalt is mined in the DRC. Significant amounts of this is
mined under appalling conditions often by child labourers.” My personal
opinion on this statement is most closely described by:
A. What’s cobalt got to do with to me?
B. The DRC is a long way from where I live so I don’t really care.
C. This is just a fact of global supply chains and necessary for global
economic growth, which is in everyone’s best interest.
D. I wonder who is profiting out of this?
E. It breaks my heart to see children exploited. This is morally wrong and
must not be allowed.
