In Spain, young soccer players can sign professional contracts when they turn 16, the minimum work age stipulated by Spanish law. Before that, children join training academies run by soccer clubs that field youth teams in amateur leagues. The most well-known example in Spain is Barcelona's "La Masia" academy, where Lionel Messi started training at the age of 13 when his family emigrated from Argentina.

In this Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014 photo, Irma Lopez, holding her son Sabino Slavador, talks during a interview in her house in San Felipe Jalapa de Diaz, Mexico. Irma's plight garnered national attention last year when a photo showed the 29-year-old woman of Mazatec ethnicity squatting in pain immediately after giving birth in October on the lawn outside the Rural Health Center of the village of San Felipe Jalapa de Diaz. Lopez, and her son, Sabino Salvador, survived with no health problems, but the picture upset many Mexicans when it was widely shared on Twitter and Facebook and shown on the front pages of some national dailies.
