There are various causes of child labor.Poverty is the primary cause of it.When you observe you find that poor families have more numbers of children.It is a hard situation,they make their children work in factories,shops,even selling items on streets.

The second cause is that children want to be self-reliant.The third reason is the orphans try to find a way to live and improve their life level.
