should enact new special legislati<strong>on</strong> to eradicate child labour, and promote family planning<br />
measures in the country to counter the populati<strong>on</strong> explosi<strong>on</strong>. Employers who exploit child<br />
labour should be punished. The Government should ensure that child labourers have good<br />
working c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s and receive high wages. Parents should also take care of their children’s<br />
physical, mental and spiritual development. The public should also come forward and act<br />
together with the Government to eradicate child labour from our country, as the<br />
Government al<strong>on</strong>e cannot deal with the problem of child labour.
