     The emergence of child labour is unhealthy family life and the illiteracy and some other cases over population. 

The " UNICEF" in collaboration with government, annually celebrates the universal children's day in more than 180 countries. On this occasion parents and societies are called upon to consider the needs of children and to improve their lot through health care , education and new laws. Because child labour at the cost of child's future is now common in the developing and poor countries.  In most of the developing countries like PAKISTAN, INDIA, BANGLADESH, BURMA, and most of the African countries, South American and East European and other developed countries 50 million children are engaged in manual work to earn for themselves and for their families.  And children earn even through sex,for the pleasure of rich adults.

Firstly,  the children in developing countries from poor families can not study.  Their parents cannot afford their school and study expenditures.  So they hesitate to send their children to school. Moreover when it was Covid-19 pandemic and it was decided that online classes would be held about 60% of parents were not able to buy android phone for their children to attend online classes so they took out the children from schools and put the on work to earn and support the family.  

Secondly, the poor families are very large, and the bread earner is the male head who single- handedly can't meet the needs of each member.

In order to add in the income of the family the children of ages ranging from 8 to 15 get employed. They work in car work shops, filling stations,restaurants bakeries, shops of different kinds, offices of firms and companies, student hostels, private homes roadside eatries eateries,brick kilns manufacturing centres,factories,tanneries,roaming trucks,buses and railway trains, and so on. These children get ordinary returns for the same work that fetches substantially high wages to adults. Most of the parents of these working children are illiterate and ignorant. They think that school education,if at all some children can get, would only be decorative and impractical.  The children are either not sent to school , or they are taken out of it to be assigned to mechanics in workshops or foremen in factories to be trained for a "practicl" future. 

Thirdly, the successive government of most of the developing countries have failed to utilize state funds and resources for the uplift , education and training of the masses. Because of their disappointment inefficiency and failure to organise mass education programmes most of the people are uneducated,uncultured and backward. The professional or vocational education, demanded by the modern world,is simply non-existent in villages, shanty Towns and city slums where most of the people live. The roads are broken and the surroundings are unhygienic.  The people are diseased ,mentally sick and physically weak. Fourthly,the advanced countries, through their agencies and leaders , continue to develop contacts with the businessperson, industrialists, civil servants and rich leaders of the poor countries. They don't care to spend some of their resources and utilize a part of their vast funds of knowledge for the betterment of the poor. They provide aid and funds to the rich of these countries for the so called "development purposes." The funds are misused or stolen by the leaders and no kind of social reconstruction is possible. 

Child labour can be ended with large scale social and economic reforms in the developing countries.  Education should be made common and the " true" literacy rate should be raised at all costs to about 95 percent, professional schools for workshops training, tractor and car repairing ,welding,computer operations and industrial and agricultural activities should be setup. State funds ,in whatever form they can be made available should be provided to the poorest families. 

The feudal system in our and other developing countries should be brought to an immediate end. The big landowners, who control the working population of the country and determine their futures,will,then not be able to keep the labourers and farmers uneducated and backward. The uneducated city people should be provided suitable job opportunities and facilities of education for their children.  With assured incomes ,secure futures and education facilities in plenty the parents will find it possible to keep their children from labouring outside at the cost of their studies and futures.

The proper knowledge information and an inspiration to prepare an educated and useful nation that is beneficial not only for self but for the whole world is need of the hour.
