Today Pakistan is facing a lot of social problemsbut some are very common in Pakistan, whichare destroying our society and also economy ofPakistan.

Child labor is a global issue. Child labor is one of the most common problems

in Asia and also in Pakistan

Unicef define child labor as the work that are considered harmful for a child and exceed a minimum number of hours.

Ilo define child labor as damage to childer health, hamper their education and lead to further explotation and abuse.

Rfers to all young people engaged in harmful employement ,whether they are school age or olders.

One of the major reasons behind child labor is poverty when children have no option left other than to work their survivals.

In the developing countries when the govt fails to provide the basic requirement for the children.

When the only earning member of the family members dies or suffering from serious illness.

High rates of injuries while working with knives, sharp tools, and other heavy equipment.

An estimated 100,000 children suffer from agriculture-related injuries in Pakistan annually

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

• Article 11 of the Constitution prohibits all forms of slavery, forced labor and child labor

• Article 17 provides for a fundamental right to exercise the freedom of association and the right to form unions

• Article 18 proscribes the right of its citizens to enter upon any lawful profession or occupation and to conduct any lawful trade or business

Article 25 lays down the right to equality before the law and prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of sex alone

Article 37(e) makes provision for securing just and humane conditions of work, ensuring that children and women are not employed in vocations unsuited to their age or sex, and for maternity benefits for women in employment

Article 38 well being irrespective of sex, caste creed or race; Social Security

International key regulation had a great impact as it impliedly enforced governments to enact some laws in order to protect children to child labor.

The children of third world countries are main victems , so it is the duty of these international organisation and first one countries to help these children as their govt cannot ensure the basic requirements of a child.

However ,it will not be the wise to stop working of children, rather proper rehabilation of their living will be more prefable .

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

Child labor 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 coast, 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.”
