Child weavers / labour and the poverty

This short film shows how families use their children to earn for the family. A girl child in this video clip adds nearly 55 cents per day to her family income. How can we expect a family to send children to schools for education when their earning is less than a dollor per day? Simply bringing resolution or laws is not enough to eliminate child labour rather the planners should work the methods and policies to generate rural employment that generates enough income to spend and send child for study. Simply saying child labour as crime is easy and poetic. We need to understand the darkness behind this activities. We need to win over the reasons behind parents seeking their children for income.

I am amazed at how some of you people are so arrogant, selfish and pitiable. I find it unbelievable that anyone can crack a joke of any sort with the current state of bonded labourers in developing countries.

I do not think it bonded labour she is helping hand to parents family affairs, In many developing countries girls are less preferred for schooling so like them to stay at home and become helping hand

We can really see how poverty also play a major role in child labor. How children in order to help support and survive worked at early age even with a small amount of compensation.

@loveisgentle002 umm, yeah, 55 cents in some countries is equal to hundreds of dollars in the US. It's not as if she makes 55 cents and then has to buy a cup of coffee from starbucks for $1.85 or pay $1500 a month for a one bedroom. Compare that 55 cents to what 55 cents is worth in that country. What you don't understand is that some people are categorized rich if they make 55 cents a day, what you and I wouldn't even bother to pick off the floor.

why do they wear all that bling? surely it isn't real, right?..

They use kids because there fingers are small to get in between and therfre work faster, when your whole family is working it brings in more money too. I think its awful the way they treat kids, they have their childhood taken away.

This is sad! Poverty is pervasive to childhood, as the rich keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer! What a global imbalance!
