Child Labor
 CHILD LABOR
Child Labor is a global issue. Not all children are lucky enough to enjoy their childhood. Many
of them are forced to work under humane conditions when their grief does not subside. Globally,
children have been carrying our work that is not suitable for their physical or mental age. While,
child labor is often associated with young children working in factories, shops, homes, sales,
there are far more serious child abuse problems. Child pornography, sexual abuse, child
involvement in conflict, apostates are a major problem. Although there are laws that prohibit
child labor, children continue to be exploited for cheap labor. It is because managers fail to apply
the rules to protect children from being forced to work. Children are forced to work in
completely uncontrolled situations without adequate nutrition, proper pay and rest. They are also
abused physically, sexually and emotionally. According to a study by the Federal Bureau of
Statistics and National Child Labor, approximately 19 million children under the age of 14 are
working as child labor in Pakistan depriving them of their childhood, health and education, and
neglecting them in a life of poverty and desperation. It is estimated that about a quarter of
women aged 20-49 get married before age 15, and 31% before 18 years. Only 34% of children
under five are registered nationally. Birth registration is a fundamental right of every child as
legal proof of the child's existence and identity. As an accurate history of the age, it can help
protect children's performance and children's marriage, and protect children from being treated as
adults through the justice system. Factors such as poverty, lack of social security and the ever
widening gap between rich and poor have had a profound effect on children. We have failed to
provide universal healthcare services and appropriate education, which has resulted in children
dropping out of schools into workers.

It was frustrating to see a child working as a

laborer and I often felt sorry for him, not being
able to do much but talk to the master and
sometimes give the child money. Later I realized
that some of these children are helpless and to
survive they have to work hard for their age. Many
of these children are orphans, had disabled parents
or foster parents. They had no help from the
government and the authorities and started working
quickly to take on family responsibilities. While, on the other hand, I have seen that children are
sent to wealthy homes to work for many reasons and that parents think it is okay to be able to
find a better life instead of living in a remote area with limited access to the outside world and
money. It is different to the adoption of children in these areas. Usually, the child goes to school,
stays with the family and helps the family with daily tasks. I have seen a couple of these kids
grow up in a family and eventually make the best of the life being taught by an independent
person. I feel that those families should love these children more and take care of them instead of
treating them like a slave.
Many domestic workers work under forced conditions, including debt servicing, sexual
harassment and physical abuse. Some children work with their families as responsible
bricklayers. In addition, non-governmental groups are armed and employing children and using
children for terrorist activities, including suicide. The militant groups included the Tehreek-e-
Taliban Pakistan, and reported that children were recruited in madrassas (Islamic religious
schools). Many children face barriers to access to education due to high teacher turnover, poor
facilities, and lacks of transportation, and inclusive discipline, which can prevent children from
going to school. In addition, while reports say that the total number of terrorist attacks has
decreased since 2009, armed groups and prominent groups continue to attack and threaten
students, teachers and schools, affecting children's access to education.

Violence Against and Exploitation of Children

The Child Protection Program supports the
Government of Pakistan's technology to
strengthen the recognition of the child's right to
protection against all forms of violence and
exploitation, by addressing the gaps in the area
that allows for priority, including the absence of
a basic child protection case and administrative
approach to the country. In addition, gaps are
considered mainly related to social approaches,
quality of service delivery. The focus was on the
most marginalized and excluded children, including girls. In 2016, with the help and technical
assistance of UNICEF, a law was enacted to fully comply with UNCRC principles and
recommendations of the Committee on Child Rights, in 2007. UNICEF also supports other
provincial governments in the transition to law, where applicable, in support of the introduction
of a Child Protective Management Plan and 2022 referral program. In relation to child abuse, the
focus is on the creation of data on the economic exploitation of children, including its negative
forms through the submission of staff surveys using the SIMPOC method. The regional youth
empowerment program (Improving the lives of young people in Pakistan) promotes life skills
related to self-knowledge, empathy and respect, communication and communication, coping
with stress and managing emotions, including working with social and digital media. Creative
communication strategies, ranging from the development of appropriate and relevant messaging,
to deploying C4D child protection community and multimedia programs, were implemented in
four districts of Punjab and Sindh. UNICEF Pakistan introduced the concept of "good masters"
in its child marriage programs, including men and boys directly (fathers, brothers, husbands and
influential men as religious leaders) to unite in that defines their identity, Positive "desirable,
positive" traits and encourages the same through ways to participate and role play.

Overview of Children's Work by Sector and Activity

 o Agriculture

 Agriculture, including the harvesting of cotton, wheat and sugarcane

 Fishing, including deep sea fishing
o Industry

 Manufacture of glassware and surgical instruments

 We wrap carpets, produce clothes, put on leather, and roll soccer balls
 Brick production
 Coal mines and precious stones, and crushed stone

o Services
 Domestic work
 Working in hotels, restaurants, power stations, and car repairs
 Removing garbage and recycling, recycling, and street selling

o Categorical Worst Forms of Child Labor

 Forced labor in agriculture, brick making, carpet circumcision and coal mining
 Work is forced, sometimes because of human trafficking
 Commercial sexual exploitation, including the use of pornography, sometimes as
a result of human trafficking
 Forced compression, sometimes due to human trafficking
 Mandatory recruitment of children by non-state parties for use in armed conflict
 Use in illegal activities, including smuggling and drug manufacturing

In 2018, Pakistan made equal progress in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. All
four provincial governments have begun conducting child labor research, which will be the first
child labor report since 1996. The federal government also passed the Prevention of Triaging in
Persons Act and found its case against child pornography. In addition, provinces Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh have each adopted new policies that will address child labor.
However, children in Pakistan carry out the worst forms of child labor, including forced labor at
home and hard labor in brick-and-mortar hats. Although the federal and provincial governments
make commendable efforts in all the relevant areas during the reporting period, the coalition
government and the Province of Balochistan have not established a minimum age for labor or
hazardous work in accordance with international standards. In addition, provincial governments
do not have the resources necessary to adequately implement the laws that prohibit child labor.

Political governments and provinces have the same control of labor laws. According to the
Constitution, both federal and provincial governments may pass a law through criminal law.
The Birth Registration Program aims to support the Government of Pakistan to strengthen the
recognition of the child's right to birth registration, with a focus on gaps in the environment,
including issues especially related to social trends, quality of delivery and demand alike. The
focus was on the most marginalized and excluded children, including girls. This state-of-the-art
technology platform developed in the Punjab and Sindh Provinces, shows the solidarity of
public-private partnerships between UNICEF, the Punjab and Sindh and Telenor governments,
both at national and international level. UNICEF also supports the Pakistani Government in
Khyber Paktunkhwa, Federally Controlled Areas and Balochistan to accelerate birth registration
rates. In addition, UNICEF's support for the growing number of registered newborns, especially
newborns, is underlined by its technical support to the Ministry of Planning, Development and
Reforms regarding the development of an inclusive CRVS plan. Both approaches look for gaps
in the enabling environment that interfere with the effective coordination and coordination of
child protection and other related public policies, including adolescents, primarily by building
the evidence base of the 'public registry'.

In 2018, the coalition government enacted a bill to curb human trafficking, bringing the law in
line with international standards for exempting children from the requirement that coercion,
deception, or coercion should be proven to facilitate trafficking and include all human trafficking
in sexual exploitation and trade. In addition, the National Assembly passed a bill called the
Islamabad Capital Territory Prohibition of Employment of Children Act, which would prohibit
the employment of children 14 and under at any institution, including agriculture and domestic.
The bill would also prohibit the employment of young people aged 15 to 18 to be employed in
hazardous work and to establish a dangerous work program prohibited by youth. The Senate
must approve the bill before it is approved. Finally, a law prohibiting homework for children
under 15 in the state of Punjab came into effect in 2019.

However, Pakistan's organizational and provincial laws are not completely in line with
international standards on child labor. The coalition government's working age is incompatible
with international standards because it does not extend to informal activities. Sindh laws in the
State that limit minimum working age also do not extend to illegal occupations or factories
employing less than 10 people. Minimum hazardous labor union age and is not consistent with
international standards because they are under 18. The province of Balochistan did not impose a
minimum age of employment or hazardous work, and, therefore, the child of union rules of
employment applies in Balochistan. In addition, the dangerous prohibition of union activities
with the states of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh does not include brick-and-mortar
work, of which there is evidence that children suffer from environmental health hazards in brick-
and-mortar construction and domestic abuse.

State law does not prohibit the use of children by fornication or pornography. In addition,
federal and provincial laws, with the exception of Punjab provincial law, do not prohibit the use
of children in drug production and drug trafficking. The national and provincial governments,
with the exception of the province of Punjab, have not yet passed laws prohibiting the
recruitment and use of children by non-state parties in armed conflicts.

Enforcement of laws on child labor

Government has introduced institutional mechanisms to enforce child labor laws. However, there
are gaps within the functions of provincial inspectors that may hinder the proper implementation
of labor laws.

Agencies Responsible for Child Labor Law Enforcement

o Provincial Labor Inspectors

Inspects industrial areas and markets to determine whether child labor violations are effective,
enforces federal labor laws, and seeks to take legal action against employers.

o Labor Courts

It pays fines for staff violations.

o Provincial and Regional Police

It emphasizes violations of co-operative and provincial laws, including the Pakistan Penal Code,
the Prevention of Trailer in Persons Act, and the Bonded Labor System (Abolition) Act, in
relation to the worst forms of child labor. Offers children detained at Child Protective Services

o District Vigilance Committees

The enactment of the Bonded Labor System (Abolition) is enacted and assists in the recovery of
the covered workforce. Report to the District Magistrate.

o Federal Investigation Agency, Anti-Trafficking Unit

It emphasizes laws related to human trafficking, particularly the law on human trafficking. It
collaborates with other governments on human trafficking cases, uses the hotline for victims, and
publishes information on anti-trafficking efforts on its website.

o Child Protection Units

At-risk children were arrested, including those who were rescued from labor exploitation cases.
You are submitting cases of custody of children to a Child Protection Court or appropriate
authority. Established in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and districts of Sindh
At the time of the report, the Government of the State of Balochistan had not set up child
protection centers in the entire State as mandated by the Child Protection Act 2016; however, in
2018, the provincial government launched a Child Protection Unit in Quetta in preparation for
the introduction of additional units. In addition, while the Regional Committees of the District
are affiliated to the state of Punjab and are reported to be active in the state of Sindh, they are no
longer active in the provinces of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Labor Law Enforcement

In 2018, lawmakers working in Pakistan took steps to
combat child labor. However, there are gaps within the
performance of the Provincial Labor inspectors that
could hinder adequate legal use, including the lack of
information by the provincial government to enforce
labor laws.

Following the breakdown of state power by provincial

governments, provinces are responsible for enforcing
labor laws, including those involving labor violations.
Provincial labor department collect the full details of labor law enforcement at district level.
However, there is no repository of data, or any common method of reporting to the federal
government. As such, small details of personnel evaluations are available from provincial
governments.

Based on the 2017 data, the number of labor inspectors may not be sufficient for the size of
Pakistan's workforce, which includes approximately 64 million workers. According to the ILO's
technical advice for approaching each of the 15,000 workers in developing economies, Pakistan
can employ up to 4 259 inspectors. For example, labor departments in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
Punjab, and Sindh districts did not provide the cost of covering travel expenses for the
inspection. In the state of Sindh, inspectors reportedly stopped conducting unspecified tests
because of complaints of harassment filed by inspectors against employers. In all provinces,
fines and penalties were improperly assessed and it was not sufficient to prevent employers from
using children.

In 2018, efforts are being made by provincial governments to increase the ability to monitor
workers and implement labor laws. For example, the Sindh Provincial Government hired 32 new
labor inspectors, and labor inspectors in the Punjab Province received training through ILO's
Empowering Examination Staff on the Pakistan project. Between January and August 2018, the
Punjab Department of Labor has identified 65 cases of child labor while examining 482 pounds,
and 33 cases of child labor while examining 732 centers.

During the reporting period, Sindh Province has further strengthened protection against child
labor by enacting the Sindh Home-based Workers Act. This action calls for the establishment of
a Sindh Workers Welfare Board, which is mandated to conduct home-based research to identify
and remove hazardous conditions, and to curb child labor at home.

Criminal Law Enforcement

In 2018, criminal justice agencies in Pakistan took steps to combat child exploitation. However,
there are gaps within the operation of the criminal law enforcement agency that may hinder
adequate criminal law enforcement, including data on federal and state law enforcement efforts
to discredit the worst types of employees.

While national and provincial governments did not publish details of efforts to implement laws
that prohibit the worst forms of child labor, the coalition government reported efforts to enforce
section 366 / A of the Penal Code of an organization that prohibits adoption of girls under 18 In
2018, there were 2 were registered including Penal Code Section 366 / A in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa Province, 19 in Punjab Province, and 7 in Sindh Province. In addition, there is one
case prosecuted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, 18 in Punjab Province, and 2 in Sindh
province. During the reporting period, the Pakistani coalition government also sentenced its first
perpetrator to a child pornography case. The abuser has been sentenced to seven years in prison
for distributing child pornography as part of a global network of pornography.

In 2018, the Punjab Province strengthened protecting victims of forced labor, including children,
by adopting a Punjab Bonded Labor System (Abolition) law, which increased penalties for hiring
responsible workers by requiring offenders to spend time in jail and pay a fine.

Coordination of Government Efforts on Child Labor

Government has introduced measures to consolidate its efforts to address child labor. However,
there are gaps that hinder effective coordination of efforts to address child labor, including
implementing instructions for establishing communication channels.

Key Mechanisms to Coordinate Government Efforts on Child Labor

o Provincial Child Labor Units

Organize and implement interventions against child labor at the provincial level.

o Provincial and Federal Tripartite Consultative Committees

Advise on the implementation of labor laws, including child labor laws and the oversight of
provincial human resources. Monitor the implementation of the proposed 'provincial proposals
for children and forced labor at the state level.

o Interagency Task Force

Coordinates the Department of Home Affairs anti-trafficking efforts; intelligence and legal
entities; Department of Law and Justice, and the Department of Foreign Affairs. He supports 27
Terrorism Investigation Agencies that work with state and regional police to monitor and combat
domestic and international human trafficking. Maintains Integrated Border Control System.

o Balochistan Child Protection Commission

It coordinates efforts related to the protection of children at provincial and district levels, advises
on appropriate policies and legislation, and supports the implementation of mechanisms to
transfer child protection. It is headed by the Department of Social Welfare Balochistan, various
government departments, including education, health and labor departments and legal entities.

o Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Child Protection and Welfare Commission

It includes efforts to strengthen the safety, well-being and well-being of children at provincial
and local levels. Review and monitor the implementation of state and federal laws regarding
child labor and those affecting children's rights. Directed by the Department of Social
Development, Special Education and Empowerment of Women.

o Punjab Child Protection and Welfare Bureau

It includes the protection of poor and neglected children by placing child protection officers,
supervising child protection centers, and establishing child protection centers and child
protection courts. It is elected by a board-appointed member, consisting of three departmental
secretaries, three provincial assembly members, and representatives from NGOs and academics.

o Sindh Child Protection Authority

It includes efforts to ensure the rights of children in need of special protection, including child
workers, by establishing child protection units and appointing child protection officers. Review
and recommend amendments to existing laws and monitor the application of appropriate laws for
the protection of children. Led by the MEC, the members include two MPs, lawyers, social
activists and representatives from the departments dealing with children's problems.

In 2018, the coalition government enacted the Islamabad Capital Territory Child Protection
System Act, which authorizes the establishment of a Child Protection Advisory Board. Once
established, the board's responsibilities will include advising government on the implementation
of appropriate laws and policies, ensuring that the child protection process is effective,
maintaining a case management system, managing child care organizations, and submitting an
annual report. However, the coalition government has not yet formed the National Commission
on Child Rights as mandated by law. The study was unable to determine when existing
communication structures were active during the reporting period.

Government Policies on Child Labor

Government introduced policies related to child labor. However, there are policy gaps that hinder
efforts to address child labor, including incorporating personnel issues into relevant policies.

Key Policies Related to Child Labor

o Sindh and Punjab Provincial Plans of Action to Combat Bonded Labor

Details of how the provinces of Sindh and Punjab plan to renew their mandatory labor laws. It
also includes programs to strengthen employee inspections, generate awareness of responsible
staff, improve reporting, and computerized employee survey data. At the time of reporting, the
study could not identify what steps were taken to implement these plans

o Sindh Labor Policy (implemented during the reporting year)

It wants to protect vulnerable workers, including children. It also includes intentions to enforce
laws against dangerous child labor, extend the minimum age for employment in domestic and
domestic work, ensure minimum wage for working children, and increase access to education
and training. At the time of reporting, the study was unable to determine what steps were taken
to implement this policy.

In 2018, it was reported that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Cabinet approved the child
labor policy, which will be Pakistan's first child policy. The study failed to find a copy of the
child labor policy. During the reporting period, the Punjab provincial government has also
approved the Punjab Labor Policy 2018, which reportedly aims to conduct child labor surveys in
the Province, to introduce an online reporting system and labor control system, to provide trains
for child labor inspectors, and to register out-of-school children in educational programs. The
study could not find a copy of the new staff policy.

The education policies of provincial governments are not covered by the elimination of labor and
disease prevention strategies.

Social Programs to Address Child Labor

In 2018, the government sponsored and participated in programs that included the goal of
eliminating or blocking child labor. However, there are gaps in these social programs, including
the adequacy of programs to address the full extent of the problem.

o Bait-ul-Mal Programs

Government-sponsored programs aimed at removing children from child labor, including its
worst-case practices, and increasing access to children at risk for education. Programs include
the National Employment and Child Rehabilitation Centers and the Child Support Program. At
the time of reporting, the audit was unable to determine what steps were taken to implement the
program during the reporting period.
 o Elimination of Child Labor and Bonded Labor Project (Integrated Project for
Promotion of "Decent Work for Vulnerable Workers" in Punjab Province)

Punjab-sponsored programs that aim to provide education to at-risk children, inspire responsible
bricklayers, promote the integration and integration of government responses, strengthen the law,
increase law enforcement and service providers, and enhance the knowledge base on these
issues. Project activities have been ongoing in the newly elected provincial government in
August 2018.

o ILO-Funded Projects

ILO projects in Pakistan aim to end child labor, including the $ 216,000 Sustain GSP plus Status
project by Strangeed National Capacities to Improve International Compliance (ILS) Compliance
and Reporting (2015-2018), and $ 465,000 Employee Completion and Promotion of respected
work at Stora Enso Value Chain in Pakistan (2015-2018).

The social programs of the union and provincial governments are not enough to address the scale
and scope of the labor crisis in Pakistan. Existing programs also do not provide adequate services
to protect and rehabilitate slave labor and victims of human trafficking. Government measures
are needed to specifically monitor child labor in the informal sector, including child labor and
forced labor at home. In addition, more social programs are needed to expand and provide
assistance to children using non-governmental groups to engage in armed conflict.

Suggested Government Actions to Eliminate Child Labor

o Legal Framework

 Accede to the Palermo Protocol on Trafficking in Persons. (2013 – 2018)

 Ensure that the federal government's and Sindh Province's minimum age laws extend to
all sectors and informal employment, regardless of the number of employees. (2011 –
2018)

 Establish a minimum age for work of at least 14 in Balochistan Province. (2013 – 2018)

 Establish a minimum age of 18 for hazardous work in Pakistan and Balochistan Province.
(2009 – 2018)

 Create comprehensive prohibitions against additional specific hazardous activities, such

as brickmaking and domestic work. (2009 – 2018)
 Ensure that the law criminalizes the use of children in all forms of commercial sexual
exploitation, including for prostitution and pornographic performances. (2011 – 2018)

 Ensure that the law prohibits the use of children in illicit activities, including in the
production and trafficking of drugs. (2011 – 2018)

 Ensure that the law criminally prohibits the recruitment and use of children under age 18
by non-state groups for armed conflict. ( 2015 – 2018)

o Enforcement

 Establish Child Protective Units in Balochistan Province to ensure that services are in
place to remove children from exploitative labor situations and refer them for appropriate
child protection services. (2018)

To ensure that district committees seek to ensure the enforcement and implementation of
the ban on staff is established and effective throughout Pakistan.

• Publish details of enforcement of child labor violations, penalties, and penalties

collected from all provinces. In addition, publish details about the funding of labor
inspectors, the number of labor inspectors, the number of inspections carried out in the
workplace, whether inspections are made, and

• Developing a mechanism to transfer between law enforcement agencies and social

services in all provinces. (2018)
 Establish a referral mechanism between criminal law enforcement agencies and social
services in all provinces. (2018)

 Create a centralized repository of labor law enforcement data and a regular mechanism
for reporting it to the federal government, and make the data publicly available. (2018)

 Increase the number of labor inspectors to meet the ILO's technical advice. (2016 – 2018)

 Provide the funding necessary to adequately hire, train, equip, and cover the cost of
transportation for inspectors to enforce child labor laws. (2010 – 2018)

 Allow labor inspectors in all provinces to conduct inspections without notice and to
check penalties.
 Ensure that penalties and penalties are sufficient to prevent employers from violating
labor laws.

 Publish details about criminal law investigations, found violations, prosecutions were
initiated, and conviction rates in all provinces.

 Establish a mechanism to transfer between human resources and social services in all
provinces. (2016 – 2018)

 Establish a National Commission on the Rights of the Child Act, as mandated by federal
law. (2018)

 Publish information about physical activity. (2017 – 2018)

o Government Policies

 Publish information on the use of existing staff policy. (2017 – 2018)

 To integrate strategies for the elimination of child labor and preventive measures in the
education policy of provincial governments. (2014 – 2018)

o Social Programs

 Complete and publish child labor research at state and federal levels. Children need to
build personal positive relationships in order to thrive and feel confident. (2009 – 2018)

 Implement programs to address high rates of teacher absenteeism, inadequate facilities,

lack of transportation, and use of corporal punishment to ensure that all children have
access to free and compulsory education, as required by law. Increase security for schools
to protect children and teachers from attacks by non-state armed and extremist groups.
(2011 – 2018)
  Publish information on the activities undertaken to implement government programs,
such as the Bait-ul-Mal programs. (2018)

reach children working in the informal sector and in the worst forms of child labor,
including domestic workers, bonded child laborers, and other victims of human
trafficking. (2009 – 2018)
 Implement programs to raise awareness of and provide assistance to children used by
non-state militant groups to engage in armed conflict. (2011 – 2018)
Child labor has long been practiced in Pakistan, and for many people it is a matter of tradition.
This is not unusual. The United States and England both face widespread popular opposition to
early childhood legislation as workers have become a source of pride in many working
societies. This is particularly true in Pakistan, where limited economic opportunities mean that
children who start working at an early age may have a better future with employment than
those who complete a formal education. This also affects many families. With a struggling
economy, a large number of families rely on income from working children. So, while Pakistan
has taken a legal approach to combat child labor, these laws have probably never been
effective and have little impact on everyday reality.

Impact on child’s health

Among the many aspects of child labor are important issues related to the issue that of health
risks. According to CLS (1996), Pakistan 7% of child workers often experience health
problems, 28% occasionally and 33% rarely. Sewage system such as dirty and dirty water
greatly affect the health of children. In factories it burns and heat is dangerous work also has
consequences for children's health due to long working hours and heavy work hour load.
Children are not mature, the risks are involved in their work and they are not trained for heavy
work. Children working in the construction and heating sector have come in. The pain of being
mentally unstable. According to the survey, 40% of child workers are affected abnormal
mental and emotional growth and lack of care is a big decision internally developing a state of
emotional tension between them.
Working also impacts a child’s social development because the child spends time doing labor
instead of with peers in social play, learning how to interact properly. Even adolescents who
work are impacted negatively. Teenagers who spend more than 20 hours per week working, are
at a higher risk to develop problematic social behaviors like drug abuse and aggression. The
risks also impact their educational development as they are more likely to perform poorly in
school and drop out of the little education they are privy to.
Child labor affects the overall social development of children, since they do not get to spend
time with others their own age or even enough time with family members children need to
build good personal relationships to grow and feel confident. Spending long hours at work,
even temporarily, prevents children from developing these relationships, leading to the safety
of adults who are also at risk for other emotional problems.
Spending long hours at work, even temporarily, prevents children from developing these
relationships, leading to the safety of adults who are also at risk for other emotional problems.
Active children also experience isolation and pressure, which often prevents them from
continuing to develop healthy emotions as they age, and can lead to many physical
consequences. They are at high risk for developmental delays due to high health risks both
from dangerous working conditions and from taking physical activities. The most active
children tend to be younger than those allowed to play and grow naturally. They are at high
risk for diseases such as respiratory ailments and exposure to harmful chemicals that can also
affect their growth. Usually, these children also suffer from malnutrition that leads to other
severe health and mental conditions later in life.
Recommendations
We need to come up with an immediate solution to this problem.
It is the need of the hour to protect the rights of these children by caring for them and against
the curse of child labor in our society. You should respect their rights by their well-being and
support to make their lives better, so they can fishermen, people have a responsibility in our
country. Government authorities and all civil society organizations need to work to free the
children who work under cold conditions. They need to be rescued from working conditions by
exploitation and supported by adequate education. Above all, there is a need to mobilize public
opinion to bring about an effective policy of eliminating all children in their own ways. In fact,
the termination of child labor requires a holistic approach. It should be investigated why
children should work to support their families and why they do not attend school. In fact,
Pakistan’s biggest problem is population explosion. Low-income parents have 10-12 children.
People should be made aware of the benefits of an organized family. It is becoming
increasingly difficult to provide for a growing population.
This is a scary situation in any country. Poverty, lack of education, major domestic
unemployment and unequal distribution of resources and resources have contributed to the
increase in child labor. Following are some suggestions and recommendations that we as
individuals can pursue individually or collectively to eliminate the existence of child labor in
our society;
• Create awareness among parents about the harmful effects of child labor; if
circumstances prevent children from working, it is important to urge them to be
employed safely

• Encourage healthy ways to hire those who need to raise money to support the
family

• Assist home caregivers in achieving their goals by meeting food and medicine
supplies

• Equality in the workplace and Social Justice must be ensured

 • Owners of industries and industries must ensure that children are employed in the
processes and that the change of work environment complies with health and safety rules

• Government should integrate basic education

Impact of Child Labor on society

It is a sad fact that education is often viewed as a waste of time and resources. People from
disadvantaged communities prefer to send their children to work rather than to school. These
conditions reflect government's apathy towards education and learning. This problem could
have a profound impact on our society in the future. First of all, child abuse will transform into
a shameless job and will have the misery of skilled workers in the future. Secondly, this
situation will cause a lot of social problems and could be the cause of the increase in crime. We
are already facing the danger of street crime. Child labor will have a negative impact on social
and economic development. Clearly, government should play an important role in solving this
problem. Improvements in social, cultural and economic life will reduce child labor.
Government should also open schools and other child labor technical centers to make
themselves more useful citizens. Child labor will not be completed until our society shows
willingness and takes decisive action again

Conclusion
Child labor is a curse on the society of Pakistan and on our economy. The future of society lies
in the well-being of its children. It is necessary to save children from social injustice and lack
of education. Children work as school-age workers to survive their families and to fulfill basic
needs. People don't know the importance of education. That is why most children continue to
raise their illiteracy and should be raised and parents should pay attention to their children's
education. Child labor laws should be applied at all If we are to succeed we must apply these
principles and our country can easily solve the problem. We must distribute education off the
coast, provide educational candle and distribute the light of knowledge to the people as our
Holy Prophet (PBUH) also says "get knowledge and spread it."

Some of the best documentary on child labors according to me which should be watched once,
