Child Labor in Bangladesh
Dhaka, Bangladesh
2022
Child labor in Bangladesh is common, with 4.7 million children aged 5 to 14 in the workforce. Of the child laborers engaged in the workforce, 83% are employed in rural areas, and 17% are employed in urban areas. Such child labor can be found in almost every brickfield in Bangladesh.
On average, they are 10-12 years old, and they have to work from 3am to 12 pm for their daily meal and family. As they were born poor, every child from the family had to sacrifice their education for the sake of their family. They are the real heroes of their family as they are the earning person of their family.
