Introduction:
Child labor may be defined as all economic activity for
children under the age of 12 years. It may also be defined
as weekly economic activity lasting enough to undermine
the health and education of those aged 12-14. Child labor
constitutes an important obstacle to achieving Universal
Primary Education and other Millennium Development
Goals in Bangladesh.
Child Labor and child work
There have been many debates in developing countries on what
constitutes child labor and child work and on how to deal with them.
It has been argued that one way of distinguishing between child
labor and child work involves the nature of the work and its impact
on children.
Sectors of work
Child labor and millennium development
Goals:
Children involved in worst forms of child labor, as set out
in ILO Convention No. 182, are the sub-group of child
laborers whose rights are most compromised and whose
well-being is most threatened. For these children, the risks
and damage associated with child labor go far beyond
compromised education.
