Child labor is a reflection of the socio-economic reality of the country.. Poverty is obviously one of the push factors of child exploitation but there are many other pull factors, which contribute for the continuity of poverty, hunger and starvation. Because of the unaware society people give birth to many children then they can take care or the parent break which lead the children to drop out to live on their own, which ultimately push children to work on their early age for their food. The poverty is the leading cause of child labor in general. However, other factors like inequality to resources, large family size, illiteracy, lack of schooling facilities, dysfunctional families also contribute children to enter into labors market at their early age. Also it was found that, children have to support their family due to the poor economic condition. As a result, they have to leave school or they cannot go to school.
