Children are considered to be the future of a country. But what would happen with the future of a country whose children are labourers? Or doing the work that they are not supposed to do at this young age?
Pakistan is included in one of those countries whose labour class possesses many child labourers. They are working in factories that pay them far less than a grown-up man gets. Many children are found on streets selling flowers. Some are found mopping the shiny floors of banks. Sometimes they have to listen to bad remarks for small mistakes.
We shouldn’t let these children work under such circumstances. They could bring a great revolution to the country. And it can only possible if our government looks at this issue seriously. Government should announce free educational programmes by providing them allowances, so they can enjoy their learning period to the fullest. Because the more educated people a country has, the more developed country it would be considered.
