"CHILD IS THE FATHER OF MAN" the famous lines by William Wordworth. It symbolizes the need of children in building a healthy nation and society. Childhood is the first stage after infancy. It is the formative period in men's life. For their minds are very soft, receptive and plastic at this tender age.

Children’s mind is like potter's clay. It has to be shaped in a right manner. A child normally has to enjoy its childhood days with its parents, teachers, friends, etc. It is the age where fine and long lasting impressions gather in child's mind.

Childhood is the best time to develop spiritual, intellectual, emotional support. But this rule of nature has been crippled by the perilous child labour

Every child has his right to enjoy his childhood. But inspite of this a few  children are forcefully put to work throughout the world about 250million children are child labourer. Due to poverty poor parents put their children to work in order to supplement the family's economic status.

This conceal's the talent and interests in them. Their urge to go to school is dissmised by their parents. This makes the nation lose a few creative minds. The children are deprived of education. They are made to work under threatening conditions. They are overworked and under paid children are made to shine shoe on footpaths, they work as milkboys, ragpickers, house maids, cleaners in hotels....etc.

We can find children selling newspapers on highways. All such adverse practices are to be abolished once for all, without leaving its traces for future generations

Biography!!

I am the source of developing bond between U.S.A and Pakistan. My name is Ali Akmal Chaudhry from Punjab, Pakistan. I am a YES scholar!

Many social, political or economic issues exist in world but child labor is the most serious issue. Child labor harms children and keeps them from attending school. Children under twelve work at all sorts of jobs around the country. They are forced to work either in legal or illegal professions. Many young boys start working at eight years old, when they should be playing games, studying and having fun. They work in different factories, industries, agriculture or services. Many children also start begging to make money for their family.

There are children who cannot go to schools due to financial problems. They only watch others go to schools and can merely wish to seek knowledge. It is due to many difficulties and desperate conditions that they face in life. Having been forced to abandon their aspirations, dreams and other wishes, they are pressed to earn a living for themselves and for their families. It is also a fact that there are many children who play a key role in sustaining the economic life of their family without which, their families would not be able to make ends meet. If those people who could help these children would remember the pleasure of their childhood this maybe would change.

 Consider the point that most of our country’s total population is leading a life in poverty, where people are deprived of basic necessities of life like clothing, shelter, food, education and medication. The children of these people are forced to become laborers or workers in order to survive. Another reason for child Labor is that our people don’t have the social security or welfare benefits such as the United States. There is no aid plan or allowance for children in countries. Class-based education system is another reason for increasing child Labor; villages lack standardized education systems and a family value of education in sometimes. As a result, child Labor is on the increase in rural areas. The government has not passed laws to stop child Labor in our country. Corrupt employers are extracting a large surpluses from cheap child labor. Increasing poverty, unemployment and other problems, are pressing poor families to do anything and everything for their survival and livelihood.

This issue is important to me because one of my intelligent friends is also involved in this issue. He is very hard working and he wanted to continue his study after his graduation from high school. He wanted to be an engineer and wanted to work for the benefit of the world but his parents cannot afford the money of college. His parents forced him to join their family business but he really wanted to continue his education. I want to be involved in a solution to this issue in my country, in order to help him and other millions of children.

The problem of child labor has done enough damage to the lives and health of many innocent children over centuries by stealing away their many rights. It is now evident that child laborers are heavily losing out on all fronts and are becoming terribly unequipped to live a good future life. Child labor negatively affects their mental, emotional and psychological capabilities. Child labor should be brought to an end now. Due to this issue many children become limited and they lose hope of being educated and successful in life. It destroys the personality of children and makes them feel like a slave in this world. They become discouraged from their life and that leads them to suicide.

There are many forms of child labor but we must give greater attention to its worst forms, namely, child slavery, child prostitution, child soldiers, and child trafficking. We must unite and help each other in order to fight and eradicate child labor. Let us work together to save the children of the world and to provide them with a better future for these children will sooner or later be the hope of our world.
