Child labor is regarded as one of the most seriousproblems of human rights violations in thecontemporary world. Millions of children around theworld have their rights violated every day and thisis of great concern for the international community. This study will mainly focus on worst forms of childlabor in a Bangladeshi context, nevertheless alsotouching upon other aspects of child labor bothpositive and negative. In doing so I found itimportant to investigate how a concept such asâ¿¿globalizationâ¿¿ influences three important factors, child labor, education and poverty. The role of the government is important since theydecide the political agenda and possess the power tomake important decisions on behalf of the country andconsequently, make a direct impact on millions ofpeople locally, nationally and internationally. Thisstudy will attempt to show how the cooperationbetween Bangladesh and the international community isgoing. If Bangladesh is to successfully achievemeeting these goals depend upon how the countryaddresses the relationship between the three factorsabove, and their willingness and/or ability to actaccordingly to the challenges they meet and have met.
