    AN ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN: A CASE STUDY OF HAZARDOUS WORK ENVIRONMENT IN PAKISTAN
    (KINNAIRE COLLEGE LAW DEPARTMENT, 0022-05-17) AIMAN NOMAN
    Child labour or bonded labour is the most common form of modern slavery in brick kilns and glass bangle making industries of Pakistan. Over the years, it has been strongly linked to socio-cultural aspects of the society. This type of complex child labour allows the child as well as their families to associate themselves physically as well as economically so that they become a part of this vicious cycle from which they are unable to break-free. The reason for this never-ending cycle mainly lies in the socio-economic factors which force a society to undertake such bondage. To eliminate such practises our country needs to devise a strategy which includes the economic uplifting, educational training and social stability of such families. This research report will help in understanding the extent to which the child labour has impregnated in such hazardous work environments mainly in brick kiln and glass bangle making industry and its adverse effects on mental and physical health of the children. Moreover, this paper will also emphasize on the international and national legal regimes which have helped in abolishing this threat to our industries and our bonded children over the span of years.
