Child Labor in South Asia

The children are the future of a nation. A child brought up properly may build up a better society. When a child is bound to work hard for its livelihood, the society loses all its expectation.

A child never wants to work hard. But surroundings compel him/her to do so. Poverty is the main cause of child labor. Sometimes, the ignorant parents force their children to earn money for the family.

Most of the child workers work in factories, restaurant and shops. Some children work as helpers in tempo, servant in residence and bearers in a residential hall.

It is a matter of great regret that a child works very hard but he/she earns a very little amount. A child has to work all day long for its living. He/She has to starve whenever there is no work for earning. A child merely lives from hand to mouth.

Children are the future of the next generation. A child brought up physically, mentally, educationally can only make a better society. But child labour drives the countries to dark future. So, there is a bad impact of child labour on our future generation.

It is a violation of human rights to let the child work. But the rules and regulations of HRC (Human Rights Commission) are very weak here. The children have to work because of poverty. They are tortured inhumanly in different environment. A child is kept in lock whenever its owner goes out. For any kind of negligence they are given severe punishment. These are the conditions of child labor in South Asia.

The Governments should take proper measures to stop child labour. Economic emancipation as well as awareness of both parents and owners can reduce child labor.
