Introduction:

• Bangladesh is overpopulated country. Most of the people are poor. Many people migrating to cities in search of jobs. They live extreme poverty and the positions of their children are even worse. Specially, a large number of children is working and staying on the street. In Bangladesh, whose age is less than 18 year is consider as a child. If the actual age is seem to be up to 14 years.

Also vast data have collected from internet. All these data are analyzed in different way for finding different relevant things. Then I went to the different research institution and different places for adjusting. I also mind mapping the study then start writing to follow the specific instruction for writing. All these data are secondary data.

What do child laborers do?

• A large proportion of children whom the ILO classifies as child laborers work in agriculture.

Work ranges from taking care of  animals and planting and harvesting food, to many kinds of small manufacturing (e.g., bricks and cement, auto repairs and making of foot wears and textiles).

Child Laborer law & rights:

• Laborer rights is a very broad issue; however, it can be boiled down to the protection and respect of human life in the workplace and the right to work itself. Some components of laborer rights are the rights to job safety, collective bargaining, and equal pay for equal work.

• In practice, child labor laws in Bangladesh do not protect working children. Employers prefer children as they are cheap, productive and obedient. Children working in the industrial sector have no contract of employment and so find it difficult to stand up for themselves and fight for their rights. The demand by factories for child laborers is increasing all the time.
