Child Labour and Education

---

@Zymal492cb0cdb1 Even when children in child labour attend school, they may struggle to balance work and studies, leading to lower academic achievement and increased dropout rates.

@HIRAC405752f6f0 Child labour perpetuates a cycle of poverty, as children who are forced to work often have fewer opportunities for education, leading to lower-paying jobs in adulthood.

@HIRAC405752f6f0
You're right.
Child labour happens mainly due to poverty, lack of education, and weak laws.
It’s common in farming, mining, factories, homes, and street work.
It harms children’s health and keeps them away from school, locking them in poverty.

@Mariya Education equips children with skills and knowledge that can lead to better employment opportunities, reducing their need to engage in hazardous child labor.

@Zymal492cb0cdb1 Education can empower children and families to understand the importance of education and the negative impacts of child labor, leading to a shift in attitudes and behaviors.

@HIRAC405752f6f0 Education can make a child more valuable in the labor market, increasing their earning potential and reducing their need to engage in exploitative child labor.

@Mariya The demanding nature of child labor can lead to physical injuries and mental health problems, making it difficult for children to concentrate and learn in school.

@HIRAC405752f6f0 Ensuring that all children have access to quality, free, and compulsory education is crucial to combating child labor.

@Mariya Promoting education as a key factor in reducing child labor and empowering communities to take action against it is essential.

@HIRAC405752f6f0 Child labour stems from poverty, poor education, job scarcity, and weak laws. It's common in sectors like farming, mining, textiles, domestic work, and street vending. It damages children's physical and mental health and blocks access to education, trapping them in a cycle of poverty.

@WAQAS21edd186d8 gPakistan, child labour persists because the laws that do exist are not strictly enforced and because social and political commitment is weak. Though the minimum age of child labourers is 14 years, children less than eight years old are found in labour all over the country.

@WAQAS21edd186d8 Poverty is a major driver of child labour, as families may rely on children's income to meet basic needs.

@Mariya-Rajpar Inadequate access to quality education, especially in poorer communities, can lead children to enter the workforce at a young age.

@HIRAC405752f6f0 some regions, child labour is accepted or even encouraged as part of traditional practices.

@WAQAS21edd186d8 Limited economic opportunities for adults can force children into labour to support their families.

@WAQAS21edd186d8 Children are particularly vulnerable to injuries, diseases, and psychological trauma in hazardous working conditions.

@WAQAS21edd186d8 Child labour can trap families in a cycle of poverty, as children may not be able to escape their current situation.

@Mariya-Rajpar Many countries have laws prohibiting child labour, although enforcement can be challenging.

@Mariya-Rajpar Providing access to free and compulsory education can reduce the need for children to work.
