Review of If Kids Must Work


As the first reviewer stated, the juxtapositon of working kids with a translation of their words by English-speaking children is a strong component of the piece. This feature of the story could make it a good piece for helping children in first world countries gain an understanding about the lives of children in developing countries. The piece serves the listener well by touching on the differing perspectives of child labor and by contrasting children working to assist their families with outright exploitation of children in the labor market.
