Child labor is a serious issue in Pakistan, where millions of children are forced to work in order to support their families. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are an estimated 12.5 million child laborers in Pakistan, many of whom work in hazardous conditions and are denied access to education.

To combat this problem, the Pakistani government has enacted several laws to protect children from exploitation in the workplace. These laws include:

• The Employment of Children Act, 1991
• The Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1992
• The Punjab Restriction on Employment of Children Act, 2016

Under these laws, it is illegal to employ children under the age of 14, and any child between the ages of 14 and 18 can only work in non-hazardous occupations for a limited number of hours. Employers who violate these laws can be fined or imprisoned.

However, despite these laws, child labor remains a widespread problem in Pakistan, and many children continue to work in dangerous and exploitative conditions. This is where UpLaw can be a valuable resource for those seeking to combat child labor in Pakistan.
