If some companies stopped hiring children and take advantage of their situation just for their own benefits, and instead hire adults to work it is indeed possible to eliminate child labour. Hiring kids and pay them small amount of money, instead of hiring adults is against the laws because every kid has the right to live their childhood time freely and happily, because every person have a limited time to be a kid so they should enjoy the time they have instead of working hard and carrying the burden in their shoulders. –Yes it is possible to eliminate child labour, but then, governments or companies should give higher salaries to their family. they should also open free schools for those children because children are born to learn not to work. there should be a general law about children not working until they reach 15.
