Most children work in the small-scale and informal manufacturing units, where conditions are worse. These “factories” are no more than bare rooms in which people work on the floor. The rooms are crowded and many consist of an extra floor, to be able to place more people. They have few modern machines, and mainly work manually, using manual tools. Working hours are very long: workdays of 14 hours are not rare.
