Widespread Abuse:
There are indications of widespread abuse within these industries, highlighting the need for greater attention and intervention.
Connection to Prostitution:
Child labor in hotels and restaurants is linked to the issue of prostitution in tourist destinations, raising concerns about exploitation and vulnerability.
Insufficient Compensation:
Some young workers in these industries receive extremely low wages, leading them to borrow money from their employers. This practice often results in debt bondage due to strict repayment rules imposed by bosses.
