A Milei deputy defends that parents can take their children out of school to work. The Argentine Government distances itself from the statements of Alberto Benegas Lynch.
The legislator's defense of child labor earned him harsh criticism from politicians, educators and international organizations. “Working distances boys and girls from their right to learn, play and grow happily,” Unicef responded. The minimum age to work in Argentina is 16 years and employers who take economic advantage of the work of children and adolescents are penalized.
