In current environment Pakistan is facing one of the major problem is child labor.

Any child
under the age specified by law worldwide works full time, mentally or physically to earn for
own survival or adding to family income, that interrupts child's social development
and education is known as "child labor".

1I WOULD like to invite the attention of the authorities concerned towards child labor in
Pakistan. It is equally frustrating that child labor, considered to be one of the core issues of
Pakistan, is being neglected by the government.
Hence, the rate of child labor has perked up to a large amount.
According to the national child labor survey, approximately 3.3 million children below 14 years
are working as a labor in Pakistan. This includes both boys and girls boys form 73 pc and the
girls 27 pc of the child labor.
This scenario depicts how moderate Pakistani parents are letting their children to work as
laborers in order to earn money and survive in this world.
As a result, the majority of children works overtime for Rs 50 to Rs100, which seems a matter of
grave concern. What is required is that the government must take a step to solve this issue.
From the recent survey of statistical bureau it is found that around 4 million children are working
as labor in Pakistan and unfortunately the rate is increasing day by day. There are several causes
of child labor but poverty is thought as the root of child labor. From survey it is found that more
than 25% people are below the poverty line because of this people are needy of their essential
needs like clothes, food, education, shelter etc. To fulfill their need people force their childrens
to do struggle in the early ages
