Abstract

Child labor is a global problem, but in developing and weak economies the severity of the problem is relatively high. The complex situation of child labor can be estimated from the fact that there are about 152 million children in child labor worldwide. About half of them, 72.5 million children, work in hazardous sectors that threaten children's health, safety and moral development. Every child has the right to enjoy their childhood to the fullest. However, due to hard work, children are not able to enjoy the best part of their lives, which severely affects the mental and emotional health of children. In a developing country like Pakistan, as the population grows, so does poverty Along with employment, inflation, socio-economic and financial problems are also increasing and due to these serious problems, the rate of child labor is also increasing at an alarming rate. The situation arising out of COVID-19 has also increased child labor globally. In line with Goal 8 Sustainable Development Goal 8.7, we aim to eliminate all forms of child labor by 2025, including forced labor, modern forms of slavery and human trafficking.
