Pakistan has passed laws greatly limting child labour and indentured servitude but those laws are ignored and millions of children,aged four to fourteen,keep the country’s factory operating,often working in brutal and squalid conditions.The rapid downfall of economy increases the rate of child labor day by day,children who cannot go to schools due to financial problems, they only watch others go to schools and can merely wish to seek knowledge.It is due to many hindrances and difficulties; desperate conditions that they face in life.
Having been forced to kill their aspirations, dreams and are pressed to earn a living for themselves and for their families.the main causes behind child labor are high population growth in poor families,the disguised unemployment in agriculture sector in Rural Areas,low productivity and low prevalence of poverty,unpaid family helpers and inadequate education facilities.In rural areas mostly the children are engaged in agriculture sector(74%) while the urban ones are busy in manufacturing areas.Our government now seriously have to take some action against it because these children are the future of Pakistan.
