Eradicate the Child Labor

According to a government survey there are 3.3 million child laborers, including 2.4 million boys and 0.9 million girls. Out of the total 37.90 million labor force, 15.23 million are found child laborers in the country.

Child labor is existing in the sectors of carpet, soccer and surgical instrument manufacturing, auto workshops, fisheries, street beggars, coal mines and agriculture.

The main reasons for child labor are poverty, unemployment, lack of educational facilities, low literacy rate, negative attitude of family members, parent’s death, violence at homes and schools.

Parents are not dong their job and the second reason of child labor is poverty. No father and mother want to play with their children’s future. But due to poverty, numerous children are facing mental, physical and moral torture in workplaces.

So we Government, NGOs and Media have to play their part for eradication of the child labor. We have to take the steps to make the future of our country’s children prosperous.
