  2. Types of Jobs • Children in Pakistan often work as trash collectors, carpet makers, hotel porters, street children and many other jobs.

  3. Hours WORK • They work 16 hours a day up to 60 hours per week.

  4. Newspaper articles • Pakistan has recently passed laws greatly limiting child labor and indentured servitude—but those laws are universally ignored, and some 11 million children, aged four to fourteen, keep that country's factories operating, often working in brutal and squalid conditions. No two negotiations for the sale of a child are alike, but all are founded on the pretense that the parties involved have the best interests of the child at heart. On this sweltering morning in the Punjab village of Wasan Pure a carpet master, Sadique, is describing for a thirty-year-old brick worker named Mirza the advantages his son will enjoy as an apprentice weaver. "I've admired your boy for several months," Sadique says. "Nadeem is bright and ambitious. He will learn far more practical skills in six months at the loom than he would in six years of school. He will be taught by experienced craftsmen, and his pay will rise as his skills improve. Have no doubt, your son will be thankful for the opportunity you have given him, and the Lord will bless you for looking so well after your own."

  5. Why working • The surrey states also that most cogent reasons given or guardians for letting their child work were to supplement household income: to pay outstanding debts; assist or help in household enterprise; and no one else available for household chores. • Cogent- means to have power to compel or constrain

  6. Average age of teens working • No child below the age of fourteen shall be engaged in any factory or mine or in any other hazardous employment.

  7. Education opportunities • Education is considered as the cheapest defense of a nation. But the down trodden condition of education in Pakistan bears an ample testimony of the fact that it is unable to defend its own sector.

  8. Family/home life • In Pakistan our house have no running water or electricity, and I have to share my house with my sisters, brother, parents and grandparents! I do not go to school. Only about half the children do. I would very much like to. The temperature here can get really hot. In the central of Pakistan the summers can get up to 120F.
