Child Labour in Pakistan

In Pakistan children aged 5-14 are above 40 million. During the last year, the Federal Bureau of Statistics released the results of its survey funded by ILO’s IPEC. The findings were that3.8 million children age group of 5-14 years areworking in Pakistan out of total 40 millionchildren in this age group

fifty percent of these economically active children are in age group of 5 to 9 years. Even out of these 3.8 million economically active children, 2.7 million were claimed to be workingin the agriculture sector. 73% of them were saidto be boys

Causes 30% of our country’s total population is leading life below

the poverty-line, in which the people are deprived ofbasic necessities of life like clothing, shelter, food,education and medication, the children of these peoplewill be forced to become Labourers' or workers in order tosurvive.

Our people are not aware of the importance of education. Class-based education system is another reason for increasing child Labour as a result, child Labour is increase in rural areas.

The government has not put its laws into practice to stop child Labour in our country that’s why child labour is increasing day by day.

Conclusion

The children are working as a labour in school going age for the survival of therefamilies and to full fill the basic necessities.

People don’t know the importance of education. That’s why most of children remain illiterate.

Solution

Awareness must be raised and parents should pay attention to the education of their children.

Child Labour Laws should be strictly put into practice

If we want success then we have to act upon these principles and then our country can easily get rid of this problem.

We have to distribute the education free of cost, give flame to the candle ofeducation and distribute the light ofknowledge among the people asour Holy prophet (PBUH) also says that“get knowledge and distribute amongothers.”

Poem on child labor Many Children have smiling faces,

And fun many a time,But there are some childrenWho never even have enough to dine.

They have to work all dayTo earn their daily pay.Some of them do cleaning andSome of them do weaving,But still it's difficult for themTo eke out a decent living.

Why can't these children smile and enjoy if we can?Only because they are the children of some poor man.Why do they have to bear their master's rod?Is it because they are children of a lesser god.

Please stop this child labor,No more mournful sighsBut only innocent facesWith happy smiles and sparkling eyes.
