A Note on Afghanistan’s Workforce
In a developing nation like Afghanistan, labor is not only a driver of progress—it is a symbol of resilience. Tragically, a portion of the workforce includes working children who shoulder adult responsibilities at a young age. These children—small in size but great in courage—work with determination to support their families. Their sacrifices must be recognized, and their futures protected.
