Pakistan's estimated population in 2010 approximately is over 169,962,500 making it the world's sixth most-populous country. BACKGROUND INFORMATION & JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSAL Pakistan's urban population expanded over sevenfold, while the total population increased by over fourfold. In the past, the country's population had a relatively high growth rate that has, however, been moderated by declining fertility and birth rates. The population growth rate now stands at 1.6%. Dramatic social changes have led to rapid urbanization and the emergence of mega cities. During 1990-2003, Pakistan sustained its historical lead as the most urbanized nation in South Asia with city dwellers making up 36% of its population. Furthermore, 50% of Pakistanis now reside in towns of 5,000 people or more. Pakistan has a multicultural and multi-ethnic society and hosts one of the largest refugee populations in the world as well as a young population. In Larkana district 01 million Of the 02 million children (in the 5-14 years age group) to be economically active on a full-time basis. Of the 01 million working children, 73 per cent (1.6 million) were boys and 27 per cent (0.9 million), girls. Children's contribution to work in rural areas is about eight times greater than in urban areas. The number of economically active children in the 10-14 years age group is more than four times the children in the 5-9 years age group. Rural children of Larkana district are mostly engaged in the agricultural sector (60 per cent), whereas in urban areas, most working children (31 per cent) are engaged in the manufacturing sector. In both areas, the percentage of girls working in manufacturing and services is higher than that of boys; this indicates that girls are more likely to work in the manufacturing and services sectors as compared to boys. It is also observed that in the non-agricultural sectors, most of the working children (93 per cent) are engaged in informal activities. A considerable proportion of the working children in the 5-14 years age group (46 per cent) are working more than the normal working hours, i.e. 35 hours per week, with 13 per cent working 56 hours or more per week. In urban areas, 73 per cent of the working children work more than the normal working hours, which is significantly higher than in rural areas (42 per cent). This shows that working conditions are generally worse in urban areas. The major factors responsible for child labour are: • Large population with high population growth rate; • Almost three-fourths (70 per cent) of the total population living in rural areas, with subsistence agricultural activities; • Low productivity and prevalence of poverty; • Unpaid family helpers, especially in agricultural activities; • Discriminating social attitude towards girls and boys; • Inadequate educational facilities. Not less than 1.7 million poverty stricken children in Larkana district have been suffering from child labour owing to lack of effective educational policies and ever increasing inflation, turning their future worse, The Nation has learnt. Universally ignored laws regarding child labour also exist in Pakistan but more than 0.666 million children, aged 4-to-14 are forced to work in factories every year. Causes of Child Labour in Larkana District: In Larkana district, children problems are directly connected with various socio-economic factors including poverty, the main cause, which leads to illiteracy, low productivity, poor health and low life expectancy. During the survey, at least 80 percent people were of the view, poverty destroys the whole life of a child, his life passes as a paralyze part of family because he cannot even write his name, it is his spiritual death because education is a basic right of each and every child. In Larkana district working children come from large families in the low-income bracket. The average household size of working children was found to be eight members, which is higher than the national average. A higher proportion of economically active girls fall under households with nine plus members. The most cogent reasons given by parents/guardians for letting their child work are to assist in house enterprise (69 per cent), and to supplement the household income (28 per cent). The former is pronounced in rural households, whereas the latter is more significant in urban families. In Larkana district One-third of the working children are literate, which shows that mere completion of primary education is not an effective deterrent to child labour. School enrolment indicates that economically active children who are not enrolled in school (34.2 per cent) are higher than economically active children combined with school (13.2 per cent). This shows that enrolment is negatively correlated with the involvement of children in economic activity. Education attainment is low because of limited opportunities resulting from inaccessibility of schools; inability of parents to afford schooling costs; irrelevance of school curriculum to real needs, and restrictions on girls' mobility in certain parts of the country. Specific Introduction to Larkana District The proposed site for the project is Larkana District with having 1,196,782 populations. It is situated in Sindh province of Pakistan. The district has historical importance because of close vicinity with `Moen-jo-Daro’ (The Mound of Dead)--a 4000-year-old city connected with the Indus civilization and due to given up the world renowned political personalities, one of the highest rice growing districts of Sindh province etc. But unfortunately, Larkana has also crossed the many cities in economically problems. Larkana has been badly hit by the child labour due to various high risk groups, mostly poverty. A number of people have died by various opportunistic infections due to hunger and may be growing number of problems in the district due high illiteracy related to economical problems. Concepts & Methodology There are three important points in relation to concepts and methodology of this study that need to be stressed here first. Firstly, the emphasis of the study on cross-border trafficking in children does not confine its samples to interview the trafficked children only, as it is wiser to also cover the interviews with persons whose current age are 18 or over but were recently trafficked when they were aged below 18. Some relevant, practices related young women trafficking are also explored. The study also designs to obtain information from key informants in sending and receiving communities and other key informants, such as children's parents, children's employers, GO and NGO staff dealing with child trafficking problem. By doing so, it is anticipated that meaningful insight of child trafficking problem and its impacts will be gained. Second, child trafficking that is specifically framed to meet to aims of this study. It is not aimed to set a definition to be used as an internal onal standard or an agreement between countries or among countries in this sub region for coordination or mutual assistance. This working definition is only the proposition from the research team. Lastly, the study also intends to investigate exploitation of child labour in each community whenever the patterns or situations would link to cross border or international trafficking in children.
