Hi...
Here are the ways to discontinue or prevent child labour:
1. Laws: Bringing in laws that makes it illegal for children to work until they reach a certain age makes it much easier to combat a culture of child labor. In addition, laws can be brought in that ensure that when teenagers do begin to work, they are not allowed to work beyond a certain maximum number of hours and they are paid a minimum wage. Such laws do not just provide an explicit statement that child labor and child exploitation are wrong. They also provide a framework and a set of prerogatives which mean that anyone who wants to challenge child labor has the official backing of the government.
2. Reduce poverty: Poverty is a key reason for the existence of child labor. When a family lives in poverty, they may very often end up sending their children out to work at a young age – even if everyone else in the family is working as well, when wages are very low, additional child labor may be needed to support the whole family. This situation is exacerbated if one or both parents is absent, has fallen ill or has passed away. So, reducing poverty in communities helps to support families and means that they do not need to send their children out to work.
3. Education: Studies show time and time again that providing free and good quality education to all children around the world helps to reduce the incidence of child labor. This is especially the case if schools provide free meals and uniforms so that poor families do not have to go without necessary things in order to send their children to school. Education widens children’s perspectives and shows them that they have so many more options in life than simply to labor at arduous, low paid jobs from childhood into old age.
4. Ethical consumerism: By spending their money wisely or inadvisedly, consumers can help to halt or can (often inadvertently) support child labor. By investigating the companies that you buy from and refusing to hand over your cash to companies that deploy child labor, you can stop funding sweatshops and other unethical businesses that are taking away the childhoods of young people across the globe. Do not be seduced by the often cheaper prices that sweatshop made goods can be associated with: these cheap prices come as a result of employing children, making adults work excessively long hours, and sometimes even employing slave labor. Child labor can also be involved in designer goods, too: many of the metals found in expensive cellphones, for example, have been mined by children.
5. Look after your employees: If you run a company, make sure to set a good example in terms of how you treat your employees. Do not just adhere to the minimum legal requirements for fair labor, but go beyond them, ensuring that everyone who works for you is taken great care of. If you set a shining example as an employer, you will have a knock on effect, as other employers will start to follow your example.
6. Be alert, and ready to act: Keep your eyes open and if you see any examples of child labor occurring do not be afraid to report them. If you have spare time, you could also train to work on a helpline, giving advice and support to children dealing with a variety of problems – including child labor. So many people just shut their eyes to the issue of child labor, refusing to see it when it is right in front of their face or refusing to inquire as to where that brand new laptop or that cheap new pair of pants came from.
7. Donate to charities: Donate your money to charities that help children to escape the trap of child labor. Donate, too, to charities that work to end poverty and lack of education more generally because these are two factors that contribute especially heavily to conditions in which child labor can flourish. Sometimes, we are too busy or simply not in the right place to dedicate ourselves to the fight against child labor. Fortunately, there are dedicated charity workers out there who do spend almost every day tackling this issue and our money can help them to keep up their good work.
Hope it helps you..

Use resources such as those suggested here, and then share what you learn with friends, family, co-workers, and others, and work together to increase your “voting” power.Contact retail stores, manufacturers, and importers.
Kindly ask them questions about the origins of their products. Let them know you want to buy products that don’t involve child labor, and give them suggestions for ethical products and services they can offer instead.Buy fair trade and sweatshop-free products whenever possible.
Buy used when you can’t. Or borrow, share, trade, make it yourself, etc.
Look for certified fair trade labels such as Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade America, and the Goodweave label to ensure that you’re supporting positive practices that don’t involve child labor.
Also be sure to use Food Empowerment Project’s Chocolate List to ensure that the chocolate you’re purchasing wasn’t made using child labor.Grow more of your own food.
Buy from farmer’s markets (verify their labor practices first), Community Supported Agriculture, and U-Pick farms.Share your time and money.
Forgo that daily latte or expensive make-up or go out to eat a bit less, and funnel that money toward supporting reputable groups that are helping free children from exploitative labor and helping them get a good education. Volunteer your time when you can.Contact local, regional, and national legislators.
Ask them to pass laws that ensure no products in your city/state/country are made with child labor, and encourage them to adopt “codes of conduct” which include concern for humane, sustainable, just practices.Contact businesses that do business in countries that have child labor.
Encourage them to put pressure on government officials to take appropriate action and on businesses that use child labor to use sustainable, fair-trade practices.Invest ethically.
If you’re a shareholder, use your voice to ensure that your companies support humane, sustainable, just practices that don’t include child labor.Contact government leaders.
Write letters to the heads of countries that permit any form of child slavery and ask them to strengthen and enforce their laws, and to increase educational opportunities for children and humane, sustainable business opportunities for adults.Educate others.
Give presentations to schools, communities of faith, nonprofits, and other groups to educate them about child labor issues and encourage positive action.
Stopping such insidious practices isn’t easy, but there are choices that all of us can make to improve conditions for children, to reduce our contribution to child labor, and to facilitate an end to the oppression and exploitation of children.
