MYANMAR KINDERARBEIT
Unskilled workers unload pebbles form a tug boat in Yangon, Myanmar, Friday, Nov. 23, 2012. Workers, including children carry baskets full of pebbles weighing 19.5 kilograms (43 pounds) from the tug boat to a collection center, that is about 40 meters (44 yards) away. For every load each get paid 30 Kyat. (3.5 US cents) An adult makes about 3,500-4,000 Kyat (US$3.5-4.7) in a day for transporting 2,275-2,600 kilograms (5,015- 5,732 pounds) of pebbles. Nominally civilian government has brought about political and economic reforms in Myanmar, one of the poorest countries in Asia after five-decades of miss-management and isolation, but the benefits yet to reach the grassroots level people.
