Kids n Trees

Child labor is considered to be one of the serious issues, which is degrading the quality of our society. Child labor mainly exists in underdeveloped and developing countries where illiteracy and poverty are on the peak. Due to unemployment problem, parents are forced to send their children for work instead of sending their children for studying. As a consequence of child labor, many children work continuously for long hours with out any rest for low wages and are seen to be mentally depressed. Especially in the small scale and cottage industries many children, who are below 14 years of age are being employed. Over population is also a hidden reason for child labor because the illiterate people and those who are below the poverty line think that more children they have, more they can make them work and earn money. This attitude of the parents should be changed to eradicate child labor from our society. Many organizations are taking steps voluntarily to educate the people, in order to make them understand the importance of being educated and remove this evil act of child labor. Also more job opportunities should be created for poor people by the local governments. Campaigns can be held to create awareness among the people, which will make the society understand the ill effects of child labor. The future of a country lies in the hands of children, hence it is essential to eradicate child labor from our society and improve the quality of life of children.
