The present government of Pakistan has made basic education compulsory. The government has distributed free books in primary schools along with this so that parents with limited budgets are now able to send their children to schools. The most important point is that this decision must be acted upon at all levels. Child Labor is strictly needed to be stopped in this country. Awareness must be hoist and parents ought to divert their attention to the education of their children. Child Labor Laws should be implemented strictly. The educational system of this country must be restructured according to national development goals. The orphans and other deserving children,who cannot afford school expenses, must be helped financially on a stretched out basis.
Providing short-term income and long-term prospects to poor families
Some children work as guides for tourists, sometimes they also work as waiters in shops and restaurants. Some are forced to do tedious and repetitive jobs such as assembling boxes,polishing shoes or cleaning. However, most child labor occurs in the informal sector rather than in factories and sweatshops,such as selling many things on the streets and roads, in agriculture or hidden away in houses far from the reach of official labor inspectors and media. And they work in all types of weather for minimal pay. As long as there is family poverty there will be child labor.
There are an estimated 158million children aged 5 to 14 in child labor worldwide according to recent research. Poor families often depend upon the labors of their children for survival because mostly it is their only source of income. We should provide them short-term income as well as long-term prospects. The root cause of child labor is parental poverty. The ban on child labor will increase adult wages and so compensate adequately the households of the poor children.
We have been given the wisdom and good judgment to observe, think and to make conclusions upon the signs of the nature we see in the universe. Children are the most beautiful and purest creation in this world. They are totally innocent and are the future of any nation. It is our duty to give facilities to children who wish to get education and be aware about this social evil. We should keep in notice if there any case of child labor. We should help them financially as much as we can.
