Now write a paragraph on Child labor in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is an underdeveloped country of the third world. This is beset with lots of problems. Among them, child labor is an acute one. It is because, Bangladesh, being an agricultural country, has an alarming rate of population growth, As a result, cultivable land is decreasing to give way to new residential and other facilities. So, pressure on family income is getting sore. Most of the families need more and more income to cope with the price hike and they send their children to work instead of sending to school. Today millions of children are engaged in various odd jobs such as working in garment factories, workshops, shops, hotels, tobacco factories, battery factories and so on. Even there are thousands of children working as house servants or maidservants. They have to work round the clock without andy rest. Child labor is a crime. It is a national disagree for us. It is an alarming signal too. Today’s children are the future adult people and if a large number of our future adults are oppressed and exploited, we cannot expect anything for the nation. They will grow up with ill health and a very weak personality. The future of our country depends upon the children of today. So, we have to give serious thought to this problem. First of all, the government should stop child labor by the strict application of the law. at the same time, financial help should be made available and all these are to be done gradually, in phases. Some NGOs and the government are already engaged in a number of programs to find a way out of this problem. We believe that the day is not too far when Bangladesh will be free from child labor.
