Paragraph on Child labor In Bangladesh

Child labor In Bangladesh

Child labor is one of the major problems in developing countries including Bangladesh. If a child is made to work from, an early age with no scope of going to school is called child labor. There are several causes of child labor. Poverty is the main cause of it. Because of poverty, children have to engage themselves in different risky works with a view to earning their livelihood. According to UNICEF, the total number of children in Bangladesh is 61.3 millions. A survey of BIDS, the number of street children is 6,79,728 and this number will increase in 11,44,754. In fact, it is a alarming news for Bangladesh. It is estimated that the number of worker children in Bangladesh is 7.4 millions. The number of children who work as servant at household is 50,000. It is impossible to take any kind of progressive activities due to child labor. It is a great hindrance to the national development for any country. Government can provide the rules for saving the children. We must work together to get rid of child labor.
