In the entire world, child labor is socially and legally a big crime. In Pakistan, child labor is a social issue though it is illegal in Pakistan's constitution. It is
found almost in every city of Pakistan such as Hotels, Mechanic, workshops in
shops, factories, in forms and so on.
The
conditions of these children are very painful. According to a recent report of the Pakistan Labor Force, 61% of children aged 10 to 14 are found in labor
activities. 88% of these children belong to rural areas. Some of the works are
risky for them, like working in factories. They have to work a lot, most of the
time they are ill. They are deprived of proper care, food, and medical
treatment.
It
is my humble request to concerned authorities to pay heed to the very issue: Since they
are our future investments, they are the backbone of our society. If we would
not solve the very issue, then it is useless to expect the development of
the country.
