Abstract

The district Bahawalpur is counted as one of the most backward and underdeveloped area of south region of Punjab where a great majority of the population is convicted of ignorance & illiteracy, lack of information and awareness about life skills.. The 75 % local people are attached with agriculture & other petty socio-economic sectors to earn their bread & butter .They are mostly from poverty stricken communities and under control of Landlords as well as rulling class of Abbasids.Resultantly, they have submissive attitude, behavior and practice and send their young generation in to various forms of child labor.

Keeping in view the gravity of the Situational Analysis, The Researcher has selected that burning issue aiming to probe deeply in to the matter and seek various aspects & dimensions related with concrete & sustainable solution that could be helpful & instrumental for the Government, Labor department Policy Makers, and other UN Agencies working on providing Service Delivery to that core vulnerable group of Children and their Families.

No Doubt, Child Labor is a black spot on the face of Civil Society; Let us feel our social & moral duty while jointly trying to erase it.
