Despite existing laws, national action plans, and international commitments aimed at eliminating child labor, over one million children in Bangladesh are still engaged in hazardous work. These children are found in sectors such as garages, brick kilns, transportation, and domestic service. The situation raises concerns about the effectiveness of numerous projects and substantial financial investments made over the past decade. A key question is why children continue to be compelled to work, particularly in hidden domestic roles. The persistence of child labor highlights gaps in enforcement and monitoring of existing regulations designed to protect vulnerable children. Authorities are now facing increased scrutiny to address the systemic issues driving this problem and ensure the well-being of these children. Further investigation is needed to understand the reasons behind the continued prevalence of child labor.
