Child labour is common among the poor segments of society. Children in the district are involved in agricultural and flock rearing activities at family level. It should be mentioned that the district supplies the urban areas especially Karachi, with a large number of children, ranging from 8 to 15 years. These children are mostly active in the informal sector. Apprenticeship is also confined to the informal sector. Five key occupations of boys are:

(1) Working in agriculture and flock rearing.

(2) As service boy in chanaki Hotels.

(3) As cleaner in garages and assistant boy with trucks.

(4) As apprentice in different categories of trade (cobbler, tailor etc)

Girl child labour outside their own home does not exist. However, at home she is responsible for several household duties. In many cases this is seen as a reason for not sending girls to school.
