Suggestion:Most important steps required To Eliminate Childlabour are; Provision of free and compulsory education. Tackling barriers to girls education. Ensuring that children have access to a school.Providing education opportunities for children.

Tackling the worldwide shortage of teachers. Enforcing laws on child labour.Tackling poverty.

Raising public awareness to tackle child labour.

Conclusion Pakistan is trying to eliminate the Childlabour and its reasons, Pakistan has recently passed laws about child labor but those laws are universally ignored. Our government is not interested in social issues like child labour. And Factories Owners are violating the laws about Childlabour. In Our country where corruption is common and education is limited, Such social activists are everyone's natural enemy.
