Child labor in Bangladesh is common with about 12.6% of children 5 to 14 forced to work. According to NPR, "Children under the age of 14 who've given up school for jobs are toiling an average 64 hours a week." Researchers from the Overseas Development Institute surveyed nearly 3,000 households in the slums of Dhaka and found that children as young as 6 years old working full time and many others working up to 110 hours a week. The average earnings the working children made was less that $2 a day. "The prevalence of child labor in Bangladesh is worrisome," says Maria Quattri, a research fellow at the Overseas Development Institute. The difficulty of tasks and harsh working conditions create a number of problems such as premature ageing, malnutrition, depression, and drug dependency. These children are often victims of physical, mental, and sexual violence.The amount of work that children are put through is absurd but is not going unnoticed. Thankfully, in 2018, Bangladesh made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The government launched a $35 million, 3-year project to eliminate hazardous child labor by identifying and rehabilitating 100,000 child laborers. Child labor is still a problem and needs to be more of a focus to fix as many children are suffering form the hardships of labor .
