Child Labor in Pakistan: Investigating the Role of Pakistani Government for Controlling Child Labor
This research paper is aimed to provide a thorough analysis of the availability of resources causing success or failure for the implementation of child labor laws in Pakistan. In Pakistan, the child labor laws are followed properly by the government. Despite the government taking initiatives and introducing plans for the improvement of the child protection system showed considerably negative results. Currently, Pakistan has millions of children working in different factories, farms, and mines. The poor implementation of initiated programs and introduced laws for the child protection system is the main reason behind the increasing number of cases for child labor. A report has identified that lack of education, resources, family structures, and family size are the main reasons for child labor. Based on these arguments, this study is aimed to investigate and analyse child labor, child abuse, and denial of children's rights in Pakistan.
