CHILD LABOUR,LAW,EVIL AND GOOD.

Child labour has been an issue that refuse to go away in the mind of those that really care for the welfare of  the chilldren .
In respons to child labour in the developing world,it is  presumed to be those work that are harmful to any child.
Alot of international and local legislation has tried to curtail this trends but has not been succesful,this because 99% of the child labour issues or problems are praticed in the third world countries like Nigeria,india and many  african and asian countries.Infairness to some of these countries local legislation has been made to aviod this problem for example in nigeria,The Childs labour Act of 2009 for lagos state,in india,The 1986 Child labour(prohibition and Regulation Act.)and even in the developed countries like the US,The 1992 Child labour Reterrence Act, which sort to sanction the importation of product made by children.

The issue that need to be address when it comes to the developing countries or third world countries  is that 40% of the daily meal of these families are provided by these children.this due to scarcety of jobs for their parents.
In nigeria,these children hawk waters to pay for their school fees and surpport the family.while in some south asian countries,it is a bonded labour which arieses when an indebted family puts their children to work off their debut.

Inconclution,we can rightly say that this is a necessary evil that is very hard to be avioded.The politcal elite should try and put  economic programmes that impove the welfare of their counties,and when this done families can now impove on themsleves.
No parent will want to see his or her child suffer.
