Child labour means the children in any work that deprives them of their childhood, wishes, education, dreams, and that is abusive mentally, physically, socially or morally injurious and harmful. Child labour is an undesirable, unwanted phenomenon. The child should have the right to play, the right to learn, and the right to dream for their bright future. The main cause of child labour is poverty which compels the parents to send their children for earning money in case of the daily meal. According to research, more than 12.5 million children are engaged in child labour in Pakistan. According to Reuters, Pakistan’s Labour Force Survey, 2014-15 showed that of those children aged between 10 and 14 years dynamic in child labour, it is stated that 61% were boys and 88% came from rural areas. Apart from that the total amount of child who is working as labour is 152 million among them 64 million girls and 88 million boys in the world, almost one in ten of all children worldwide. Child labour is a curse, which steels the happiness of a kid in Childhood and compels him for being a responsible member of the family by earning. Besides, the main causes of child labour in Balochistan is the low quality of education, lack of job prospects, and lack of progress in the region. Balochistan is such a province whose 38.8 per cent of the population is living below the poverty line, with one in four individuals living in high rate poverty. it is very hard to find a job in Balochistan easily. Likely, it is the reason that most of the families get compelled to send their underage innocent children to labour markets. No one denies the fact that Balochistan is the richest province of Pakistan. But sadly the Baloch children are registered in different workplaces. And our government is even not paying any voice up for it In Balochistan very tiny age children are found as labours which are so heartbreaking. Balochistan is facing from high tender socioeconomic. There are numerous reasons for child labour suppose poverty, a huge family, low literacy, worse economic crises, and an increase in unemployment Bundle of the families do not have enough money to feed their household daily meal expenses, bothered to pay school fees for their children consequently their children work as their helping hand and bread work. Thus, I appeal my words to the government to give an eye to the education system, provide jobs to reduce unemployment, and have a glance to this matter that numerous of the child should not be deprived of their basic rights let them bloom they are flowers which fragrance is gonna be smelled in the upcoming generation.
