#Myanmar’s junta-ordered #MilitaryDraft has exacerbated a shortage of workers caused by the country’s #CivilWar, and the gap is being filled by minors who are vulnerable to #LaborRights violations, experts and rights groups said Friday.
The growth in #ChildLabor is an #underreported impact of the #junta’s People’s Military Service Law, enacted in February as part of a bid to shore up its forces amid heavy losses to various ethnic armies and rebel militias since its 2021 #CoupDetat.
Under the law, men between the ages of 18 and 35 and women between 18 and 27 can be drafted to serve in the armed forces for two years.
