Every year in Romania, a significant number of children fall victim to different forms of exploitation – of which labor exploitation is not excluded. Not all work performed by children may be considered labor exploitation. Children’s work can be defined using criteria such as age, duration and type of economic activity. Light work is globally recognized as an activity suitable to be performed by children, while heavy work – and especially forced labor – is part of human trafficking. Child selling and forced labors are regarded as human trafficking, regardless of the location where the exploitation takes place.
