This document discusses child labor in Bangladesh. It defines child labor according to number of work hours by age. Over 1 million children have never been to school in Bangladesh where child labor is widely accepted. Common work areas include brick breaking, rickshaw pulling, and domestic work. Poverty is a main driver of child labor as nearly 1/3 of some families' incomes come from children. Child labor negatively impacts education and health, and risks abuse and trafficking. Solutions proposed include donating to NGOs, increasing education awareness, and strictly enforcing laws against child labor.

13. What is child labor?
Child labour is work that exceeds a minimum number of
hours, depending on the age of a child and on the type
of work. Such work is considered harmful to the child
and should therefore be eliminated.
1. Ages 5-11: At least one hour of economic work or 28
hours of domestic work per week.
2.Ages 12-14: At least 14 hours of economic work or 28
hours of domestic work per week.
3.Ages 15-17: At least 43 hours of economic or domestic
work per week.

14. BACKGROUND
Social norms and economic realities mean
that child labor is widely accepted and
very common in Bangladesh.
Child labor is a visible part of everyday life
in Bangladesh: young children serve at
roadside tea stalls, and weave between
cars selling goods to motorists

15. Continued…
• On average, children work 28 hours a
week and earn 222 taka (3.3 USD) a
week.
• The UN Committee on the Rights of the
Child expressed concern in 2009 that
many Bangladeshi children continue to
work in five of the worst forms of child
labor, namely welding, auto workshops,
road transport, battery recharging and
tobacco factories.

16. Legal Protection
• Bangladesh enacted the Labor Act in
2006, which includes a chapter on child
labor.
• The Ministry of Labor and Employment
has recently adopted a National Child
Labor Elimination Policy 2010, which
provides a framework to eradicate all
forms of child labor by 2015

17. Child Labor and education
• According to the new National Education
Policy, education is free and compulsory up to
grade eight, however it is estimated that more
than one million children have never been to
school.
• About half of all child laborers' do not attend
school at all, and among child domestic
workers only 11 per cent attend school .
• As a result, working children get stuck in low
paying, low-skilled jobs, thereby perpetuating
the cycle of poverty.

children's opinion pol.
• These children participate in jobs that have
been identified by the ILO to expose children
to hazards including: physical, psychological or
sexual abuse; excessive work hours; an
unhealthy environment.

23. A survey of these child workers found that almost all
had some sort of respiratory problem and were not
provided with any safety gear or protection from
brick dust

24. Trafficking and commercial sexual
exploitation
• Working children often live away from their
families in situations where they are exposed to
violence, abuse and economic exploitation .
• A rapid assessment of commercially sexually
exploited children showed that half worked in
other sectors before being lured into sex work .
• The majority are depressed and three-quarters of
the child sex workers were ill in the three months
