One of the most significant factors contributing to the exploitation of teens in Asia is poverty. In many countries, families struggle to make ends meet, leaving them vulnerable to false promises of employment or better living conditions.

Asia is home to over 4.5 billion people, with many countries experiencing rapid economic growth and urbanization. However, this growth has also led to an increase in exploitation, particularly among teenagers. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), an estimated 152 million children aged 5-17 are engaged in child labor worldwide, with many of them found in Asia. In addition, the UNICEF reports that one in three children in Asia-Pacific have experienced violence, with girls being disproportionately affected.
