Bonded Labour laws safeguard the rights of downtrodden sections, including daily wagers and brick kiln workers, who are often subjected to the harshest forms of working conditions. Prevalence of bonded and forced labour is a growing problem in South Asian countries. This paper examines societal factors and institutional challenges that influence implementation of bonded labour laws and treaties in Pakistan. The paper carries out a comprehensive review of literature and historical trends regarding bonded labour in Pakistan. Moreover, a critical analysis of social and institutional factors that hinder implementation of bonded labour laws is undertaken. Evidence from Pakistan indicates that bonded labour legislation lacks application as well as proper institutional frameworks. Experiences from South Asian countries including Pakistan reveal that the capacity and ability of state and state institutions needs to be strengthened for enforcing the relevant legislative measures. The paper concludes by suggesting corrective measures and actions for strengthening bonded labour legislation enforcement and oversight.
