Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Child labour is a severe problem and a big obstacle in development of under-developed countries, and Pakistan is one of them. This study sought to explore the determinants and factors that affect the child labour. This is an empirical study on the population of underdeveloped city Badin. Data were collected from 50 employees and employers with the use of closed-ended questionnaires. Data were analyzed in terms of frequencies and percentages. Lack of education and poverty were found to be determinant of child labour. Since the parents are poor, children need to work and mostly drop out school, and eventually remain poor for their lifetime. Moreover, parents are also responsible to make them work. Furthermore, the response of the employers is also consistent with the employed children. Child labour is found to be exploitive, their ability to work is utilized by both parents and employers. The innocents who needed to be cared are made protect and serve others. The corrective actions should be taken by government, NGOs and civil society to abolish child labour in Pakistan.
