Child labor down

[NewsWhore]

Minister of Work Max Puig says that since 2000 the number of children working has decreased from 430,000 to 150,000. He says that social policies in place now to discourage child labor are behind the decline. He also says that the government's Solidarity Card, issued to help low income families, has helped ease the strain on families. He said that though the DR won't reach the Millennium Development Goals, it will have improved in many areas.
