What is Child Labour?

Physically Mentally morally or blocking access to education
Child Labour in Pakistan In Pakistan children aged 5-14 are above 40 million. During the last year, the Federal
Bureau of Statistics released the results of its survey funded by ILO’s IPEC. The findings were that3.8 million children age group of 5-14 years areworking in Pakistan out of total 40 millionchildren in this age group
fifty percent of these economically active children are in age group of 5 to 9 years. Even out of these 3.8 million economically active children, 2.7 million were claimed to be workingin the agriculture sector. 73% of them were saidto be boys
Solution
Awareness must be raised and parents should pay attention to the education of their children. Child Labour Laws should be strictly put into practice
When students are ready to enter the job market, they continue to face the influence of gender stereotypes.
During recent decades, increasing numbers of women have entered the workforce for both personal and financial reasons
One reason for this gap is that women tend to work in a rather narrow range of occupations—for instance, as secretaries, as child-care providers, and in the food service and health care fields.
Another reason is that women tend to take on the primary responsibility of caring for the home and family.
Many married women may have hoped that when they entered the workplace, their husbands would take on more of the responsibility for caring for the children and the home.
For many, however, this hope has not been realized.
Faye Crosby uses the term jugglers to describe women who perform both job and family roles.
Employment System
