Third-World Families at Work: Child Labor or Child Care?
I am a citizen of India. My soul wouldn’t be satisfy if I directly started saying something about this Pakistan child labor case. Everyone knows Pakistan is a struggling and developing country as is India and some other countries such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Nepal, and Mexico. When I read this case I thought a lot about it, then I tried to compare this situation with my Home Country. I didn’t see that much difference between Child labor in my country and in the Pakistan Child Labor Case. I have seen this situation in my life. Probably my thinking is also the same as contractor manager Mr. Mohammad Ahmed. I know how developing countries are struggling to become developed countries because I spent 22 years of my life in a developing country. It is very hard for all developing countries to be a developed country in a few years. Developing countries can’t be developed countries just by improving one major field; they need to make progress in many areas. Whenever I think about developing countries, I wonder why all of these countries are struggling to reach at developed level. The answer may be poverty, corruption, bribe, or terrorism to name a few. It may be all of these reasons combined. Think about it this way: if one country is suffering from all these major problems, how can that country be a developed country? Is there any relevant answer?
Child Labor is a major problem of globalization, but it particularly affects children in developing countries. Child labor is child employment in cases in which he or she is deprived of a childhood, attending school, and is harmful in any way. Before 1940, many children from 5-14 years old worked in many different countries in differing manual labor situations. Child labor reached new extremes during the Industrial Revolution period; children were working long hours, in dangerous conditions, for little money.
