The impact of working children experiencing exploitation includes 70% working more than 9 hours, getting wages but being cut without the child's knowledge, getting wages but not in accordance with the minimum wage standard, the promised work is not in accordance with reality (67%), loss of communication with parents 83%, and the occurrence of violence in the workplace such as discomfort, coercion, threats, prone to sexual harassment (50%).
