Bangladeshi child labor


Bangladeshi child labor





Bangladesh ratified both the Minimum Age Convention (C138) of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the ILO Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (C182). In addition, the country also ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Nevertheless, child labor exists in Bangladesh both in rural and urban areas. There are many causes behind child labor:

Poverty
Illiteracy
Family breakups
Lack of knowledge by parents about education
