Children usually work in order to earn money, due to the fact that they belong to a poor family. Poverty often drives people to do things out of their comfort zone even if it is not tolerable or mandated by society. In a poor family, children may or may not be forced to work for money, although it may also depend on the parents if they will allow their child to work for the sake of money. The most common work of children experiencing poverty is segregating or scrapping garbage to be sold in order to earn money, hence there are also some who commits illegal act just for the purpose of earning.
