Despite the reality that kids are every nation's future and
well cared for in developed countries, we are facing the very severe problem of
child labor in Pakistan, which hurts our economy.Every parent’s wish is for
their child to be provided for. It is the right of every child to experience
their childhood to their fullest without having it prematurely cut short.
Educated childhood will ensure economic development.
Child labor this is a term which is a huge problem Nowadays. From the last
decades number of children are increasing rapidly in child labor. On initial we
have to understand this term child labor, what does it mean? What are
consequences of child labor? When parents force their children in early ages to
go out and help them to make their lively hood or child labor is term where
children are sent to work where their physical or mental dignity is compromised.
At the age of going these children are being sent to some work. Work can be off
any type like factories, mechanic workshop, food stall etc. In some cases these
children are separated from their families. Their parents were living long way
from their children and they did not have any idea how their children are
treated. They are just a piece of flash for their master not more than that.
They treated their children very harshly sometime beating them very badly.
Children in pain can never gain.
In Pakistan, however, many families are compelled to send their kids to work. A
latest study estimates that there are presently around four million children
involved in child labor in Pakistan, and this amount is rising daily.A large
number of children are also engaged in restaurants, tea stalls, transportation,
and garbage scavenging. The glass bangle industry, carpet weaving, coal mining,
brick kilns, and the automotive industry also employ Pakistani children.
According to ILO, poverty is the single major factor responsible for the high
prevalence of child labor in the country. With 17.2% of the population living
below poverty line, families are often forced to send their children to work to
sustain the family.
Educated childhood will ensure economic development.
Incapable of feeding a increasing family, hopeless parents farm their kids into
wealthy homes toUnable to feed a growing family, desperate parents farm out
their children to affluent homes to serve as servants, maids or nannies
(child-keepers is the more proper sense in which these children are employed in
those house-holds). These children then become, effectively, the wards of their
employers and are often treated like personal property. The birth parents remain
out of sight, perhaps hundreds of miles away, unaware that their babies are just
so much flesh and burdened bone for the caprice and rubbed temper of their
unbecomingly unkind lords. We should not encourage this crime. We should not
hire children below 14 years. We should stop this crime wherever we see it. We
should let children study not work. You wouldn’t be delusional to think that
child labor in India, despite the law isn’t very picky. Frankly, if we had it
our way. We would have hired only kids on the cheap.
Don’t ask children to take tool, instead send them to school
