Child labor is not liked anywhere in the world. It is an offence in many countries around the world. However a confusion is that in many countries children under the age of 18 years are allowed to work. They do not fall under the subject of child labour because in such countries the legal age of children allowed to work is less than 18 years.
Pakistan is one of the countries in which a child above the age of 14 years can work. A child under the age of 14 years working for someone comes under the ambit of child labour but not the one working under the age of 18 years.
According to Article 11 (3) of the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan forced labor is under the age of 14 years. The following article is reproduced below:-
11. Slavery, forced labour, etc. prohibited
