Child Labour

Sir,
Nearly 30 percent of population in poor countries are not even able to earn enough for one day food. Parents of these children are mainly illiterate or semi literate and are unable to find jobs, which can provide their two square meal.
Simply by opening schools and providing books are not sufficient measures. We need to understand the reason behind child labour that is poverty and unemployment. Minimizing poverty and creation of more and more suitable jobs to parent are the only solution of eradication of child labour problem. No parent wants his children work at the age when children are to study and play.
System of child labour prevails in the countries, which are poor or under developed. Nearly 70 percent of world’s poor live in Asia alone and major contribution is made by countries like China, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
In India alone around 45 percent of total population of one billion is illiterate/semi literate who is not able to find jobs in modern industries. 36 percent of total population of India is illiterate. Main traditional crafts manufacturing has almost collapsed due to lack of demand in international market. It has also aggravated unemployment crisis.
