In the 19th century Western Europe, throughout the period of the industrial revolution, it was a veiled agenda to be working in textile factories in the direst conditions and ghastly extended hours. The labourers are usually juvenile. Due to the monetary circumstances, the child labourers are virtually forced by the compulsory working circumstances to work in sweatshops, if they wish to be with their families and be able to pay their rent. As a result, the children are denied an education.
India, Nepal and Pakistan are all countries with a high amount of child labour, but India has the highest amount in the world. For instance, India's rural areas and child work are definitely underprivileged; The condition of the underprivileged labourers propagates by conventional thoughts, similar to the leftovers of the caste system.
Several humanitarian organisations has discussed the subject at meetings and conferences, which led to a lot of attention for humane working conditions from the media and the consumers. A company, called Rugmark International, is one of the initiators who supports the cessation of the exploitation of children. They participate in a co-operation in the carpet industry, in addition to end the child labours in India, Nepal and Pakistan. Factories licensed by Rugmark act upon the working environments and a part of the profit is set aside for rehabilitation, in addition for the child workers to get an education.
