Question

Why are children used as a labor force?

Answer 1

Children are not used as labour force, they are FORCED into it. Let me explain the causes for the children as labour force.

1. Lack of Education.
2. Lack of access to pimary resources.
3. Financial crisis in the family.
4. Being abandoned or abducted.

1. Lack of Education - The main reason children take up the labor job and end up there is the lack of even primary education, they have very limited knowledge of what education can bring to the life of their. They dont know how important it is for them in future.

2. Lack of Primary resources - People lack the basic needs ike primary schools in their near by, There are some areas where people needed to travel tens of kilometers to get the education, This is one of the primitive factor that forces them to child labouring.

3. Financial Crisis in Family - This is the most and major cited reason by many, As the financial position of the family wont even allow them to have even access to basic needs like food and shelter, These small children take up the job responsibilities for the upliftment of their family position by contributing a little from their end.

4.Being abandoned or abducted - This is a major sect, where the people who took the child labour jobs are very far from their family or being abandoned or even abducted. So to earn the livelihood they take up jobs in such an early stage of life which forms a balck cloud in their future
