[Thorough Pro]

Sialkot is the best example for youth employment and economic growth through export. Government should encourage/incentivise certain industuries to certain cities (wazirabbd for knives and flatware, Faisalabad for textile, Gujrat for electric fans and motors, etc ), making them centers of excellence for a specific type of industry and thus a natural attraction for foreign buyers.

With the second largest population of out of school children in the world (22 million!) we have plenty of workers to make footballs for the big brands. These are the fruits of child labour!

 

[Great Janjua]

At least they get paid a good amount

Actually they are preferred over adults because you have to pay them less!

 

[Great Janjua]

Child labour is in decline plus children nowadays choose to work for themselves I have seen kids as young as 12 working for a week at dhaba getting 2000 rupees and buying themselves clothes it's a win win nowadays

Child labor at the cost of schooling is never a win.

Children 15 and up working part time and going to school is fine.
But full time child employment is pure evil.
