Child labor is common in Bangladesh, with around 5 million children aged 5-14 considered economically active. The national definition of child labor is work exceeding a minimum number of hours depending on age, which can harm a child's development. Many laws and policies have been introduced to reduce child labor, but over a million children still do not attend school, perpetuating intergenerational poverty. Hazardous child labor remains an issue, with children working in dangerous jobs like brick breaking, rickshaw pulling, and carpentry.
