Introduction Today Pakistan is facing a lot of sociaL problems but some are very common in Pakistan, which are destroying our society and also economy of Pakistan. Like child labour, poverty, illiteracy, population growth, terrorism, smuggling, drug abuse etc. The topic which I have selected is child labour. It is a global issue. Child labour is one of the most common problems in Asia and also in Pakistan.
What is Child Labour? • “Child Labour” is work for children that harms them or exploits them in some way e.g. • Physically • mentally • morally or blocking access to education.
• United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) defines “child” as anyone below the age of 18, and “child Labour” as some type of work performed by children below age 18.
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 that 3.8 million children age group of 5-14 years are working in Pakistan out of total t otal 40 million children in this age group • fifty percent of these t hese economically active children are in age group of 5 to 9 years. Even out of these 3.8 million economically economically active children, 2.7 million were claimed to be working in the agriculture sector. 73% of them were said to be boys.
Example
•
Nike has been accused of using child labor in the production of its soccer balls in Pakistan. While Pakistan has laws against child labour.
Causes •
• • • •
30% of our country’s total population is leading l eading life below the poverty-line, in which the people are deprived of basic necessities of life like clothing, shelter, food, education and medication, the children of these people will be forced to become Labourers or workers in order to survive. Our people are not aware of o f 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 increase in population also affects the child labour. For example; a small family can easily manage there needs. 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 there families and to full fill the basic necessities. • People don’t know the importance of education. That’s why most of children remain illiterate. • It is not just responsibility of government we are also responsible for that.
Suggestion • 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 coast, give flame to the candle of education and distribute the light of knowledge among the people because our Holy prophet (PBUH) also says that “get knowledge and distribute among others.”
