Unfortunately,
Bureaucratic Point of View,total Eradication of Child Labor is not feasible ,because ,the government can not provide substantial alternative employment to such children.
Socialistic Point of View ,the main cause of Child Labor is Poverty.
So,friends,it requires concerted efforts from all sections of the society to make a dent in the problem.
Bcz,Children are Future, not only of a family, but also of a society as whole.
Making Future brighter of Children is the Making Future brighter of a society as whole.
