Present Situation of Child Labour in Bangladesh

Abstract

In order for the government to develop pragmatic approaches to child labour it is essential that the infrastructure and facilities required to respond to the special needs of children are in place. Currently, the service delivery to disadvantaged children is grossly inadequate, a situation compounded by the lack of support structures at the local levels. While resource limitations are indeed a critical factor in constraining effective operation and inspection of existing structures, there are inherent defects in the structures themselves. There is a need to strengthen the capacities of the state institutions in relevant fields. Allocation of requisite funds is necessary for this, It is seen that budget allocations to the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, which is primarily responsible for children's development, are nominal. This greatly impedes effective implementation of programmes undertaken by it. However, although there has always been an undeniable gap between the needs and the allocation, made, increased allocation to sectors without first strengthening the structures would be meaningless unless they are effectual in handling large amounts of money allocated to them. Moreover practical ways of monitoring progress and a range of indicators for assessing the impact of policies on children have to be developed in order for efficient management of child labour. Due gudence of the children is necessary child home, Free Schooling, govt. care should be there to train and guide the children to save from devastation.
