problems in Asia and also in Pakistan

working in Pakistan out of total 40 million
children 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 working
in the agriculture sector. 73% of them were said
to be boys
5. 30% of our country’s total population is leading life below the
poverty-line, in which the people are deprived of
basic necessities of life like clothing, shelter, food,
education and medication, the children of these people
will be forced to become Labourers' or workers in order to
survive.
Our people are not aware of the importance of education.
Class-based education system is another reason for increasing
child Labour as a result, child Labour is increase in rural areas.
The government has not put its laws into practice to stop child
Labour in our country that’s why child labour is increasing day
by day.

going age for the survival of there
families and to full fill the basic
necessities.
People don’t know the importance of education.

pay attention to the education of their children.

these principles and then our country can easily
get rid of this problem.
We have to distribute the education free of
coast, give flame to the candle of
education and distribute the light of
knowledge among the people as
our Holy prophet (PBUH) also says that
“get knowledge and distribute among
others.”
