Situation Analysis of Child Labour in Punjab

The National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) report, Situation Analysis of Child Labor in Punjab, examines the scale, causes, and forms of child labour in Punjab, as well as the legal and policy framework intended to protect children. It identifies poverty, lack of access to education, social and economic pressures, and weak enforcement of labour laws as major factors pushing children into work. The report highlights the vulnerability of children working in sectors such as brick kilns, agriculture, domestic work, and manufacturing, where they may face hazardous conditions, exploitation, abuse, and exclusion from education. It calls for stronger enforcement of child-labour laws, better coordination among government institutions and other stakeholders, improved protection mechanisms, and policies that address the underlying socio-economic causes of child labour.
