Child labour and MDGs
H.M. Abu Hasnat (Razib), On e-mail
They have become the earning members of their families at a pretty young age, instead of going to school. Needless to say, all the child labourers are the victims of extreme poverty. We live in such a country where we find so many beggars and so many cars moving around simultaneously which indicates unequal distribution of resources among the people. For instance- in Brazil, their per capita GDP was higher than the per capita GDP of Kerala in India. Despite that Kerala was and is still developed for its proper distribution of wealth. If we want to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the following steps have to be taken.1.Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. 2.Achieve universal primary education. 3.Promote gender equality and empower women. 4.Reduce infant and child mortality. 5. Improve maternal health. 6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. 7.Ensure environmental sustainability. 8.Develop a global partnership.
