GLOBAL SOURCING AND CHILD LABOUR
• Child labour comes in cheapest cost so that’s why companies prefers to use
child labours.
• In Pakistan if contract manager or the company refuse the use of child labour
then there families loose a major source of income.
• Child labour is also due to lack of money or they suffer from financial
condition.

FINANCIAL ISSUES
• In the present scenario, the majority of Pakistan’s families are belonging to
below poverty line.
• For maintaining the budget of the family they try to engage there child to
work.
• As in the case of Lahore if the Stein (the new vice president) doesn't renew
the contracts made by the Lahore manager, then workers family loose there
major source of income.

HEALTH SERVICES AND ISSUES
• There are many cause due to which Pakistan population are facing health
issues.
• Half of the population in Pakistan access the health services properly and rest
or less then half busy in saving water.
• In Pakistan 41% labours are doing agriculture and only 10% works in industry.

HIGH POPULATION RATES
• Population rates in Pakistan is increasing rapidly.
• High population rates is the main cause of unemployment.
• High Population rates in Pakistan also force low income source family to
engage there child to work illegally in the companies.
