Child Labour in Bangladesh : A Socio-Economically Important and Sensitive Issue? Discussion on the Legal Terrain Relating to Child Labour in Bangladesh in Context of Socio-Economic Realities
The term child labour reflects the engagement of children in prohibited work and, more generally, in types of work to be eliminated as socially and morally undesirable as guided by national legislation, the ILO Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138), and the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182). A child is a person who is under 18 years of age according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child 1990 (hereinafter referred to as the CRC) and the Children Act 2013 of Bangladesh (hereinafter referred to as the Children Act). Thus, child labour in a generic sense means work done by in any establishment by a person under 18 years of age. The 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians took note of the fact that not all children who are working may be considered to be in child labour slated for abolition. What this means is that, child labour has permissible limits, such limits are constituted and considered on a variety of factors including socio-economic realities
