Child Labor is a Sad Reality
Ending child labor requires a comprehensive approach enacted by the governments and adapted by businesses, communities, and down to each individual. As we try to strengthen and strictly implement laws that prohibit child labor, we can essentially advocate it as well. Governments need effective mechanisms to monitor workplaces and penalize violators, thus encouraging the community to help. Policy makers should include awareness about the negative impacts of child labor on children’s health, education, and their future. Child labor is a big fight, it is already deeply rooted in the system. But addressing its root causes consistently and implementing targeted interventions, the world can be safer and more nurturing for a child to thrive and grow, and have a better future.
