Why is child labour so visible in developing and underdeveloped nations of the world. Despite sveral legislations banning the employment of children, this social malady is not resolved. What could the solution?

Child labor were been one of the problem in our country not just because of there parents are lazy. but children now a days are more matured to understand the crisis that happening not just on there family but to all the people in different countries. Yeah its also true that there are parents that are lazy they prepare there children to worked for them rather than they worked for there children to eat.

it is so rampant because in the case of pur country, their parents are too lazy to work for their family and they let their children stop schooling and work instead for the family!

Hunger of life is worst thing which can pull to any state of downline no matter who you are.Anti child labor day was observed on june 12th.They are seen over in factories,petrol pumps,bakery's,hotels,some homes too employ them.They are there all around us.Simply we cant stop them because they may be the bread winners for their families. The government single handedly cant solve this problem. An awareness in civilians should be arised regarding the impact of putting the future generation in small earning labor. Children are innocent,hence mainly their parents need to be given the main awarness about their children life. Additionally the laborers should be penalised highly to an extent that they should not think an option to hire childrens for low paid jobs.
