Child labor increases in Jordan amid refugee influx

AMMAN, Jordan - Fourteen-year-old Abdullah said he worked almost every day at a vegetable market in the city center of Amman to help support his family.

The teenager, who has four siblings and lives in Hai Nazzal in Amman, goes to school but still needs to earn money to help his family.

Abdullah said he was forced to work as his father died a few years ago and the family relies on him and on the aid they receive from charities.
