The main reason for child labour is poverty. Most of the country's population suffers from poverty.They send their small children to work in factories, homes and shops. They are made to work to increase the income of their poor families at the earliest.
The target populations for the resolution are children aged 5 to 17 years who, during a specified time period, were engaged in one or more of the following categories of activities: worst forms of child labour, employment below the minimum age, and unpaid household services.
But, as our population has grown, as poverty has risen, as economic globalization has spread, the exploitation, oppression and violation of children has increased. As the editors of Child Labor: A Global Perspective Mention, “Poverty is the major precipitating factor, but education, rigid social and cultural roles, economic greed, family size, geography, and global economics all contribute.”
Here are a few tips for helping end child labor:
Educate yourself.
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.
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.
