A high rate of child labor is a sign of serious problems in any nation or society. Here are some tips to follow to address the threat of child labor.
Steps
Step 1. Understand that the cause of child labor is rooted in the lack of income during a child's formative period
This leads to dropping out of school, unemployment and a willingness to do underpaid jobs without any protection.
Step 2. Also understand that simple charity or a single law to combat child labor may not be enough
This is due to the fact that the problem of the rehabilitation of "unproductive" subjects is very complex to solve.
Step 3. Understand that lack of income in public education and corruption are problems affecting the education system and other sectors in many countries
Step 4. Try to get many people to understand this matter and get their consent to start promoting earning opportunities in education
Step 5. Send letters and emails to governments and legislators
Step 6. Try to highlight the seriousness of the problem in opinion letters or columns in the newspapers
Step 7. Grant interviews for newspapers and online media
Step 8. Write articles on the internet or wherever possible, explaining that there is no other solution to child labor
Step 9. Commit to trying to convey the message in various forms, for example by using the arts, such as music or theater, or other innovative methods
Warnings
- The problem of child labor is bound to generate hatred and revenge that could spread violently to different parts of the world.
- This issue is generally a cause for reflection and stress for any individual with sensitivity.
- The sight of a working child is quite common in developing countries. Seeing that local politicians and lawmakers seem numb can be difficult for anyone.
