Child labor is a persistent issue that has plagued societies for generations. Child labor continues to be a global concern, affecting millions of children worldwide. In Nepal, the fight against child labor has been an ongoing battle, with significant progress made in recent years.
In the past, Nepal witnessed a high prevalence of child labor, with children being forced into hazardous work in various sectors. Poverty, lack of education, and limited awareness were key factors contributing to this alarming situation. Children were employed in agriculture, domestic work, construction, brick kilns, and even the entertainment industry, subjecting them to physical, psychological, and emotional exploitation.
The export industry plays a crucial role in Nepal’s economy, but unfortunately, child labor remains a concern within this sector. Children are often exploited in hazardous occupations such as carpet weaving, garment manufacturing, and brickmaking, as the demand for cheap labor persists. It is essential for businesses, both domestic and international, to ensure that their supply chains are free from child labor, promoting ethical practices and fair working conditions.
At Nepal Trade Solutions, we are committed to promoting ethical sourcing practices and ensuring a sustainable supply chain.
