Child labor is something where children go to work rather
than going to school. Children who all are working under the age of 15 are considered
as child labor. Now -a -days we see this in many different sectors, not all
work done by children is classified as child labor. Poverty is one of the main reasons
why people are going to work. Due to poverty and lack of money parents are
forcing their children to work. In our daily life we see children under age 15
working in many places such as hotels, shops etc.
Let me say you
about some incidents which I have came across in my daily life, I used to
travel different places in the city I saw many people working in different
sectors most of the places I saw children under age were working. I asked many
times about their daily routine and why they prefer to work instead of
studying. About 80% of the people said that they work due to their poverty and
they do not have enough funds to go to school. Some of them even cried saying
that they don’t want to work and they want to study, I was really touched by
their feelings they do not have proper food to eat, shelter to stay, clothes to
wear. Even many people were homeless they don’t even have parents to stay with
they use to sleep on the roadside and in the mornings they work for food.
