Child labor, The Rising Crime

 

                                                        Child labor, The Rising crime

 Child labor is a rising crime that forces small children to do paid work in a small industry. Factories, illegal businesses, households, etc. Child labor affects the growth and development of children in every aspect that is physically, socially, mentally. Child labor is a national issue that is growing rapidly in underdeveloped and developing countries.                                                                    Childhood is the birthright of everyone which he should live under the love and care of his parents. But this illegal act of child labor forces a child to live life like a grown-up.

            However, it takes away the basic rights of education, health, independence of children, etc. The main reason behind child labor is poverty, lack of education and facilities and family problems, violating laws of child labor, improper social rules, insufficient government, etc. In order to eliminate child labor, we need to raise our voices against injustice. Any person who compels a child should be severely punished.

            There should be programs and volunteering for adults and children to know about child labor and its harmful effect Thus, proper education is required about the importance of childhood, education, and health. We must talk to their parents also to make them understand the value of childhood and proper education, health, etc. This is a really major social issue that needs to be resolved soon.
