Child Labor Paragraph

Child labor is one of the major problems in developing countries including Bangladesh. If a child is made to work from an early age with no scope of going to school is called child labor. There are several causes of child labor. Poverty is the main cause of it. Because of poverty, children have to engage themselves in different risky works with a view to earning their livelihood. When they supposed to go to school, they have to go out for their earning. They have to work as day worker, flower seller, servant at household, hotel boy, tea seller etc. Most of the poor children are seen to break bricks and stone for house building. Some of them work as rickshaw puller, some work in garment factories and mills. Most of the time, they work in very dangerous situation and polluted environment. As a result, they have to suffer a lot in different kinds of fatal diseases. Child labor has many negative consequences. It hinders our socio-economic development. It is impossible to take any kind of progressive activities due to child labor. It is a great hindrance to the national development for our country. According to UNICEF, the total number of child labor in Bangladesh is 7.4 millions. We must work together to get rid of child labor. Effective measures must be taken to stop child labor. The law of international child labor must be implemented. Government must take action to educate poor children. Public awareness must be raised. Thus we can get rid of the curse of child labor.
