Aluminum Factory is very common in Bangladesh where different kinds of pot and jar made from aluminum. Such industry creates a sound source of employment. Among these workers many of them are children aged less than 15 years. There is no statistics available to determine exact ratio of adults and children; but it seems around 30-50% workers are children. The reason of high child labor ratio is cheap labor. According to child labor law of Bangladesh it is prohibited in serious working condition but there is no implication. The current economic condition of Bangladesh is unable to solve child labor problem. It's not possible to banned child labor completely at any time. The thing is these children's families are in need. They don't have any other options other than work for money and help their family. If government really going to banned child labor in the country, the situation would be worse than this. Their living of standards even go down more. So before banning child labor, government needs to develop economic condition of their family first.
