Okay, everyone knows that the idea of child labour is unacceptable for most of us. Give me a few secs to give you my take on this too,

-
Cons:
Child Labour is most evident in less developed countries, thefore..

- Children are being forced to work in areas that could have been easily completed by machines instead, with regards to the present day's technological advancement.

- They are unable to turn back to become part of their original family, or have a family at all.

- Most importantly, they no longer have the opportunities to experience fun and youth in their lives.

"Pro":
- Not really a pro, but the thing is, if there are not enough hands to cope with the workload (for instance farmland), how are their families going to survive? OR if there are not enough adult workers in the family to upkeep the household?
