~Child Labor~

There are several causes of Child Labor in pakistan but according to the current scenario most common cause behind child labor practice in Pakistan remains because of death or illness of adult member of the family. Poverty is also the main cause that forces children for labouring. At so many places in pakistan children are working under the age of 5-16 years. Lack of education is also the main reason because poor families have no resources of income so the children of these people will be forced to become laborers. Moreover the government authorities in Pakistan appear to seriously believe that the problem of child labor increased beyond all proportions and that there is nothing to panic about. It is true that child labor is not an isolated phenomena it is an outcome of multitude of socioeconomic factors and has roots in poverty, lack of opportunities, explosive rate of population growth, growing unemployment, uneven distribution of wealth and resources, outdated social customs and norms and the plethora of other factors. The government should put its laws into practice to stop child labor in our country. I would suggest every person should go through the National and International commitments made by pakistan.
