Child labor is a term imply the employment of children. Children get involved in earning instead of studying and playing. They work day and night to earn their daily wages.
It is not an issue in any single country in-fact two hundred eighteen million children are involved in child labor globally.
In the 1990's it is estimated by the human right commission that eleven million children were laboring in the country.
In most countries, and cities children are still forced to work at the age of 5 to 10 doing hazardous work like making bangles, filling petrol tanks with petrol, etc. Due to this, the children die at an early age. It's a crime to snatch children's childhood.
Basically uneducated parents are responsible for this criminal act. They force their children to do work instead of going to school due to poverty. They put a heavy burden on the little shoulder. The illiteracy rate is increasing this way and the illiteracy is transferring from generation to generation.
Therefore Child labor should be banned. So that every child can cherish his/her childhood. We should encourage the children to get an education because with education we can eliminate poverty and child labor.
Grace abbot once said:
Child labor and poverty are bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the treatment of poverty, you'll have both poverty and child labor to the end of life.
On the other hand when it comes to fulfilling basic essentials if parents can't earn enough money or there is only a single parent raising kids or parents died at the early age of children then child labor becomes a necessity and necessity compels children to do work.
Although child labor is not acceptable, it may be acceptable only when work getting offered appropriately, light and non-harmful to their health and development, and if the children have enough time left to attend school.
