What is Child Labour?
• “Child Labour” is work for children that
harms them or exploits them in some
way e.g.
• Physically
• mentally
• morally or blocking access to education.
• United Nations International
Children’s Emergency Fund
(UNICEF) defines “child” as anyone
below the age of 18, and “child
Labour” as some type of work
performed by children below age 18.
Child Labour in Pakistan
• In Pakistan children aged 5-14 are above 40
million.
• During the last year, the Federal Bureau of
Statistics released the results of its survey
funded by ILO’s IPEC. The findings were that
3.8 million children age group of 5-14 years are
working in Pakistan out of total 40 million
children in this age group
• fifty percent of these economically active
children are in age group of 5 to 9 years. Even
out of these 3.8 million economically active
children, 2.7 million were claimed to be working
in the agriculture sector. 73% of them were said
to be boys.
