The document discusses child labor as one of the major social problems in Pakistan. It states that over 3.8 million children between ages 5-14 work in Pakistan, with over 2.7 million working in the agriculture sector. The top industries that employ child labor are carpet weaving, football stitching, begging, agriculture, silk production, and domestic work.
