Exploitation of Child Labour in Bangladesh


ABSTRACT


This study tries to present the socio-economic scenario of child labour in Bangladesh which has in recent times attracted concerted attention not only in Bangladesh but also all over the globe. Indeed, child labour is recognised as a considerable part of the existing labour market and by the present write-up this statement has been upheld through a number of case studies. There is no question as regards the indispensability of elimination of child labour from the society but question arises whether it would bring good for any particular society (such as Bangladesh). Child labour problem is a socio-economic reality in the country which can’t be ignored. Hence steps have to be taken at first to decrease child labour gradually rather removing it diametrically from the society. It should be remembered that if child labour is driven out just now from the country, then that would jeopardize the child labourers who earn their own bread or for the families who depend on the child workers. This article attempts to search out the ways how child labour can be decreased gradually and at the end of the paper these ways have been presented as suggestions or recommendations.
