Child Labour: A Rational Response to Economic Incentives
Dr Amanat Ali Jalbani - SZABIST, Karachi, Pakistan
Abstract
This paper is a situational analysis of child labour in Pakistan. Child labour is a pervasive
phenomenon in many developing countries. It is the symptom of several ailments the economy is
suffering from and cannot be eliminated simply by passing legislation. Legislation to ban child
labour has to be accompanied with other policies that alleviate poverty and ensure a well
functioning safety net.
