    Implementation of child labor law in pakistan
    (UMT.Lahore, 2019) Noof Ali
    Child labour is one of the problems that have remained persistent despite the efforts that have been put in fighting it. The objectives of this study are: to determine various child labour treaties or declarations in Pakistan, India and USA; to determine the objectives of the Pakistan’s child declarations; to determine how the implementation of Pakistan’s child declarations differ with that of other countries such as India and USA. A systematic review was conducted by reviewing relevant literature. The literatures were sought using key words and a combination of the key words in Google scholar search engine. Articles with relevant titles and contents of the abstract were selected. An inclusion and exclusion criteria was set to allow selection of the articles for review. The relevant key words included child labour in Pakistan, labour laws in Pakistan, treaties associated with child labour and the objectives of the child labour treaties. Articles which were published earlier than 2010 were not included in the study. The study revealed that there are various laws and treaties in Pakistan which protect children from child labour. International treaties and conventional are also present to ensure that child labour become an issue of the past generations. There are more laws in the developing countries that are aimed at ensuring the welfare of children than in developed countries. However, the study also revealed that child labour is still rampant in Pakistan and it is necessary to create awareness and sensitize community members against child labour. Sound policies should be put in place by the government of Pakistan to boost economic empowerment and end extreme poverty. Child welfare is better improved when the society is economically empowered.
