 |
|---|
Hello friends and I welcome you to my article. I appreciate @sduttaskitchen for such an interesting contest and I would be dropping my entry immediately.
Basically, child labor has cut across many developing countries or 3rd world countries. This is due to the major concern of lack of development. The average child in this country is subjected to labor and in worst case scenario begging on the streets with plates! All these are in the quest for survival.
Illiteracy in these countries as a result of lack of civilization makes these children to have to value themselves and see school as a waste of time. Not knowing that the future is bright in school. They end up being subjected to child labor in most cases they choose to labor just to get for as trophy for their hardwork this is a major reason also behind child labor.
Quest for survival, is seen as one of the most crucial reasons. These children come from poor homes, therefore they need to eat to survive and child labor is only their stand point as poverty driven homes tend to look up to their kids to work hard in the farm and other wise so that they can feed eventually. This all points fingers on poverty as one of those reason for child labor.

| • Creating Public Awareness: |
|---|
Awareness could be spread to this regard by setting out special days in the year to advocate against child labor. Chants like "End Child Labor" with placards amongst other approaches would definitely create awareness and subsequently be an approach towards solving the problem of child labor.
| • Penal Laws: |
|---|
The government stipulating desperate measures to anyone caught infringing on these kids right through child labor should be properly prosecuted through enacting rigorous and harsh laws to wade off these wicked act from the society at large.
| • Free Education: |
|---|
Government making education free and funding these schools to bring forth more qualified teachers to teach these kids to enable them focus on having a bright future and reducing the trend of child labor eventually. Once education becomes free these kids can go to school, but once it's paid for, they have to work hard with their parents to raise funds for school. Therefore, with this approach it only gets better.
| • Gifts and Bounties: |
|---|
The government could come up with approaches like feeding this kids. For Instance, in my country all public nursery and primary schools children have free lunch! The government made it a law. This caused the population of schools to get filled up. The children love food! It's actually a bait to avoid child labor and invite kids to school to learn a become the best the can be in future!

Charity begins at home, it all starts from us all. Report any family that capitalizes to exploit children with labor and see the government get to action. If there is a scape goat others would definitely learn too. All hands should be on deck to keep these kids away from child labor and thus chasing their academic dreams effectively.
Enlightenment and workshops should be organised by government and non-governmental organization respectively to tackle this menace sharing dangers of child labor to the kids and implications to their future while providing lasting solutions through rewards and gifts to families who uphold the tenet.
