Give Children A Chance To Learn
In Bangladesh, where so many people still live below the poverty line, child labour does not come as a surprise. It is a deeply entrenched and pressing phenomenon, prevalent in almost all the sectors of the economy, especially the informal sector and the home-based industries.
It is pertinent to mention that combating child labour requires long term coordinated action which involves many stakeholders and the government. It is important that the mindsets of people are changed to employ adults and allow all children to go to school, giving them a chance to learn and socialize.

Prevent Juvenile Gang Culture
Parents are the first and foremost institution for their children. Lack of proper mental development of adolescents, absence of right supervision by parents at the time of inevitable changes happen in them, deficiency of getting quality time, indifference, failure of practicing patterned social values and norms, etc.- are the main reasons why 14 to 18-year-old adolescents in the country are immersed in juvenile crime.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the intensive care and attention of the parents behind the worthy upbringing of the children. It is necessary to keep the children in the mainstream of society by creating strong social bonds through the exercise of friendly relations and by bridging the parental gap between parents and children. At the same time, it is very substantial to keep the growing children always involved in constructive and intellectually creative activities.
