What is ones feeling about the child labour in our universe.we have seen undevelopd and greowing economies where most the children drop out from their school and go to work in order to earn a bread for them selves. Can a nation develop properly where there exist child labour. what would be the future of the child like these drop out s from the primary schools. I do help such children to go to school by educating their parents first. if others also taken the responsibility to teach and educate at least 2 child i think the percentage of educated population can increase dramitically.

Good for you. I think you are on the right track. It is so sad if parents have to send out their children to earn money for the family to survive. I have never been to India but a friend of mine just got back and she was very distressed about this and little children begging on the street. In her opinion the difficulty in India is that the caste system still exists, even though by law it is forbidden. I am not informed about this but I agree with you that education must start with the parents so a new generation of children can complete school and aspire to a decent job. Keep up the good work.

No, I view the problem from another angle. Education only will not solve the problem. What will the parents of the labour child do, if they become educated at the adult age? they are not going to get any big degree or job easily. The problem will be solved, when there will be enough awareness to control the population.
