ABSTRACT
Child labour in Pakistan has been a persistent problem in Pakistan where extreme poverty force children to become active in the labour market with little support from family, society or the state (Ray 2000). Effective elimination of child labour in Pakistan requires an integrated approach by the various line ministries in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and civil society groups. This is particularly important when major players such as the Federal Ministry of Labour, Manpower and overseas Pakistanis and die Provincial Labour Departments have taken the lead in implementing child labour policy.
