Pakistan has recently passed laws greatly limiting child Labor. But, these laws are universally ignored, and about11 million children, aged between four to fourteen are taking their part to keep country's factories operating while working in brutal conditions. There are the children, those who cannot go to schools due to financial problems, they can watch others go to schools and can merely wish to seek knowledge. It is due to many desperate conditions that they face in life.
They have been forced to kill their dreams and other wishes to earn a living for themselves and for their families. It is a fact that there are many children who play a key role in sustaining the economically life of their family. Just realize, these are also part of our society who has forgotten the pleasures of their childhood.
When a child in addition to getting education, earns his livelihood, this act of earning a livelihood is called as child labour. The concept of child labour got much attention during the 1990s when European countries announced a ban on the goods of the less Developed countries because of child labour.
Child labour is a serious global issue and it is very common in Latin America, Africa and Asia. In Pakistan this number is from 8 to 10 million, in Bangladesh 8-12 million, in Brazil 7 million, whereas their number is 12 million in Nigeria.

Children are the representatives of every nation. They should be equipped with education and technical skills. But unfortunately, our society is going to decline. There should be proper laws to prevent child labour and implementation is really important as well.
