1: child labour in Pakistan and Other countries
2.causes of making poor children study and prepare for suitable professions.
3.The role of the developed countries and world organizations like the ILO (international Labour organization ) and the UN in the child labour situation.
The conclusion. Without active national planning and international co-operation, child labor in the developing countries cannot be put and to.
Child Labor at the cost of the Child's future is now common in the developing and poor countries. Governments, annually celebrates the Universal Children's Day in more than 180 countries. On this day, parents and societies are called upon to consider the needs of children and to improve their lot through health care, education and new laws. In most of the developing countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Burma, most of the African countries, South American and East European and other developing countries 50 million children are engaged in manual work to earn for themselves and their families. And children earn even through sex, for the pleasure of rich adults.
Firstly, the children in the developing countries from poor families cannot study. Their parents cannot afford their school and study expenditures. Secondly, the poor families are normally very large, and bread earner is the male head who single-handedly cannot meet the needs of each member. In order to add to the income of the family, the children of the ages ranging from eight to fifteen get employed. they work in car , in workshops , filling stations , restaurant bakeries , shops different kinds , offices of firms and companies , student hotels, privates homes, road side eateries, brick kilns, manufacturing centers , factories , tanneries, roaming trucks, buses and railway trains , and so on..., these children get ordinary returns for the same work that fetches substantially high wages to adults, secondly, most of the parent of these working children are illiterate and ignorant . They think that school education, if at all some children can get, would only be decorative and impractical. The children are either not sent to school, or they are taken out of it to be assigned to mechanics in workshop or foreman in factories to be trained for a “practical" future.
Thirdly, the successive governments of most of the developing countries have failed to utilize state funds and resources for the uplift, education and training of the masses. Because of their disappointing inefficiency and failure to organize mass education programs most of the people are uneducated uncultured and backward. the professional or vocational education , demanded by the modern world is simply not existent in villages , shanty towns and city slums where most of the people live, the roads are broken , and the surrounding are unhygienic . The people are diseased, mentally sick, and physically weak
Fourthly, the advanced countries, though their agencies and leaders, continue to develop contacts with the business persons, industrials, civil servants, and rich leaders of the poor countries. They do not care to spend some of their resources and utilize a part of their vast funds of knowledge and for the betterment of the poor. They provide aid and funds to the rich of these countries for the so-called “development" purposes. The funds are misused or stolen by the leaders and no kind of the social reconstruction is possible. Chide labor can be ended with large scale social and economic reforms in the developing countries.
Education should be made common and the” true” literacy rate should be raised at all cost to about 95 percent. Professional schools for workshop training, tractor and car repairing, welding, computer operations and industrial and agricultural activities should be set up. State funds, in whatever form they can be made available, should be provided to the poorest families
The feudal and or” jagirdari” system `in our and other developing c countries should be brought to an immediate end02-the big land owners , who control the working population of the country and determine their future , will , then, not be able to keep the laborers and farmers uneducated and backward. The uneducated city peoepl should be provided suitable job opportunities and facilities of education for their children. With a short income secure futures an education facilities in plenty, the parents will find possible to keep their children from laboring outside at the cost of their studies and future.
