Child labour in Bangladesh
孟加拉国的童工
[Series Caption]:
Child labour is not a new issue in Bangladesh as children remain here one of the most vulnerable groups living under threats of hunger, illiteracy, displacement, exploitation, trafficking, physical and mental abuse. Although the issue of child labour has always been discussed, there is hardly any remarkable progress even in terms of mitigation.
17.5 percent of total children of the 5-15 age group are engaged in economic activities. Many of these children are engaged in various hazardous occupations in manufacturing factories. Factory owners prefer to employ children as they could pay them less and also able to keep their factories free from trade unionism. A child labour gets Taka 400 to 700 per month, while an adult worker earns unto Taka 5000 per month.
童工在孟加拉国并不是一个新问题,因为他们属于最容易受到身体上和精神上的伤害,剥削,贩卖,剥夺受教育的机会,挨饿等的一群人.
孟加拉国5至15岁的儿童中,百分之十七点五在从事各种经济活动,许多儿童在制造业干着各种危险工作。 工厂主通常压低童工们的工资,并设法躲避工会的检查。一个童工每月只能挣 400至700 孟加拉币,而一个成人通常能挣到5,000孟加拉币。 |
