Child Labor and Access to Education

Child labor is regarded as one of the most serious problems of human rights violations in the contemporary world. Millions of children around the world have their rights violated every day and this is of great concern for the international community. This study will mainly focus on worst forms of child labor in a Bangla-deshi context, nevertheless also touching upon other aspects of child labor both positive and negative. In doing so I found it important to investigate how a concept such as 'globalization' influences three im-portant factors, child labor, education and poverty. The role of the government is important since they decide the political agenda and possess the power to make important decisions on behalf of the country and consequently, make a direct impact on millions of people locally, nationally and internationally. This study will attempt to show how the cooperation between Bangla-desh and the international community is going. If Bangladesh is to successfully achieve meeting these goals depend upon how the country addresses the relationship between the three factors above, and their willingness and/or ability to act accordingly to the challenges they meet and have met.
