Pakistan

Child Labour is a social issue within Pakistan and is considered a violation

of human rights by the United Nations. Pakistani society is such that, a
poor child can quite conveniently be deprived of basic education, only to
feed the rest of his family members. Anyone up to the age of 18 is a child
and his basic right is to receive education and proper upbringing rather
than use his hands to destroy his own bright future. Children are especially
exploited in the third world countries as they are a cheap source of labour
and Pakistan children are used as labourers in the Sports Industry, Carpet
Industry and the Footwear and in glassware production. According to the
Federal Bureau of Statistics of Pakistan, 3.3 million out of 40 million
children are working in various industries, although child labour is strictly
prohibited by law. Child Labour is a serious social problem within Pakistan
because the future and progress of any country depends on an educated and
enlightened youth and if a child is not properly socialized then he/she will
not be able to grow as confident and literate Pakistani citizens

class divisions become more prominent with the exploitation of the poor by the rich and this
leads to an inequitable distribution of wealth and income.

An energy crisis is any great shortfall (or price rise) in the supply of energy
resources to an economy. It usually refers to the shortage of oil and additionally to
electricity or other natural resources.

Pakistan, with a population of about 16 million people has undergone a remarkable

macro economic growth during last few years, but the core problems of the
economy are still unsolved. Inflation is one of these core problems. Government
claims that in order to keep the prices of essential commodities under control, it
has been taking various measures throughout the year.
