Macroeconomics analyzes the overall economy, including factors like GDP, inflation, and unemployment. The document discusses social problems in Pakistan like child labor, poverty, and illiteracy. It defines child labor as work that is psychologically, socially, or materially exploitative for children. Most child labor occurs in Asia and Africa in agricultural, industrial, and domestic work. This takes children out of school and can cause health issues. Addressing child labor requires implementing laws, education, and reducing poverty and inflation.
