INTRODUCTION
Children are the most vulnerable group of our society they are the one who will bright to the
country they are the future to this country. If guided well to them, they can lead the future.
Nowadays, we discover that they are directed to labour which indirectly affects the growth of the
country. Children’s need to be educated their age is not for work it is for to study, to play
outside, to explore and learn new things and they also need to enjoy being a kid. When one child
labour saw another child going to school it’s such a embrace part for them and this all is just a
dream. It’s such a terrible and shameful that one out of every eight children around the world
today is child labourer. These small kids working for the roti, kapda, makaan, essentials instead
of education. Under extreme socio-economic pressure, parents force their children to work from
a very small age. There are many innocent children who are trapped in poverty with absolutely
no hope for escape & denied the basic right to a healthy, happy childhood. 

Causes of Child labour: 

From the child labourers perspective was poverty,
illiteracy of parents, social and economic  circumstances
of the family are such the underlying cause for their
laboring. As children may be driven into work for
various reasons. Most often, child labour occurs when
families have financial challenges or uncertainty –
whether due to poverty, sudden illness of a caregiver, or
job loss of a primary wage earner. Child labour is a
hazardous situation, some people took  no
responsibilities about their health, safety measures and
if children can result in extreme bodily and mental harm, and even death then there is no such
mean to do anything. 

There is also a lack of awareness related to the harmful effects of child labour and lack of access
to basic and quality education, cultural values of the family and the surroundings of the society
in which one is living, and it is also increasing the rate of child labour. There are high rates of
unemployment so it’s also play a vital role in child labour. 

Children who discontinue school due to family indebted and they are also not able to afford
much fees in giving education due to that reason children are expelled from the school and are
more prone to child labour. 

Major cause of child labor:

 Poverty: Poverty is the major reason of doing child labour. Families do not have much
basic essential needs, to fulfill all wishes of their children. It’s a huge impact on children.
Sometimes one time meal is hard for them to eat . One man earning is not enough to pay
 or to get all the basic needs to every family member . So children become the helping
hands of their families to atleast one can have some basic needs with them. 
 Debts: Due to very poor financial conditions people borrowed money and sometimes
illiterate seek some loan from big money lenders or seths during emergency situation. If
families faced difficulties in paying back debts and interest, as a result they used to work
for money lenders for full day and night and money lenders also drag their children,
families too in assisting them so that the loans could be pay off due that reason also
children took stressed with them in order to pay debt of their families and support them

 Professional needs: Sometime industry needs delicate and soft hand-made items
like bangle making, wood small item accessories, little fingers are needed to do very
minute work with extreme excellence and precision. An adult’s hands are usually not so
delicate and small, so they require children to work for them and do such a dangerous
work with glass. This often resulted in eye accidents of the children.

Drawbacks: As we talked about that the increasing of poverty level is the major cause to
child labour. These children remain with no other choices left to working. Children are helpless
they are working for their survivals and for their families. If they do not work, they will die due
to hunger and poverty. There is lack of implementations of child laws. Every citizen of India’s
sees child working at various places. In some areas politicians or government officials or other
public authority forgot to work on children they totally ignore child labourers problems that what
they are dealing with it. 

Remedies: We can only hope to our system to our government all are in their hands, is the
only remedy. Our government should take necessary steps to prevent poverty through
giving employment to the people, to the poor families of the child labour, to the one that needs
of. Some effective measures should also be taken to educate the poor family children. Special
Schools should be open for the poor children near that place where most of the child labourers
are coming from. The government should also allocate the necessary funds to educate & nurture
the poor children. The violators of child labour laws should be punished accordingly and strictly
passed the bill for the child labours those who will be giving work to under 14-year age child
will be punished and liable to fine and imprisonment. 

Poverty and Crisis are the sources of child labor. It is in-human, we

should try to abolish this social misfortune.
 Child in labo u r is a social crime.
 Rights of the children should be prime.
 Poverty is the main source of child labour.
 Feature of the children will end forever.
 Poverty and crisis are not their fault.
 Child labor problem we should halt.
 Children are the future of present.
 People should realize the children consent.

How big a problem is the use of child labor today?

“Child labour is often seen only to occur in third world countries but this is not the case.
Child labour occurs all over the world and the brutality and cruelty of this work varies.
Although child labour is seen as a bad thing, for the children and families living in their
poor conditions, child labour is seen as necessary for the family to live as it

is an essential income. UNICEF estimates that

around 150 million children aged 5-14 in
developing countries, about 16 per cent of all
children in this age group, are involved in
child labour. Therefore child labour is still a
big problem in our world today especially
as some children are forced to work in
dangerous, unhygienic, life threatening
conditions. Not only does is it harmful to
their physical body it also effects their
education as some children drop out of
education to work. Even though many organisations and charities attempt to stop child
labour or at least make the conditions suitable for children, child labour is still seen as a
big problem in the 20th century”.

Why you must support an NGO in tackling child

labor?
Globally renowned child rights NGO Save the Children’s
is working to make child trafficking “socially and
culturally unacceptable”. and it has successfully
withdrawn 50,000 child domestic workers from
domestic help, and just year rescued 9337 children
from the clutches of child labour in India. The NGO
fights all forms of child labour via 65 projects across 18 Indian states. Child labour survivors are
led to rehabilitation and education, and over 1.5 lakh children have been given access to access
to holistic education. The NGO has also established a long-lasting dialogue with communities
across India, as well as state and national level governance to address child labour, abuse,
corporal punishment, trafficking, and child rights violation.
Conclusion:

Now that you have gotten a glimpse of the immediate threat that child labour poses, you should
consider how you can swiftly contribute to ending it. The easiest and most efficient way to the
fight against child labour is to donate online, to an NGO like Save the Children. Your donations
will fuel India’s finest child rights activism, through programmes to uplift, empower and rescue
children. Save the Children also works with supportive human rights organisations, activists, and
volunteers who will ensure that every rupee you donate goes towards making a difference in
every child’s life.

 Illiteracy and Ignorance of Parents

 In India, the lower socio-economic
groups of population are
 illiterate. They only think about
the present time which is
 their sole concern and worry.
They never think of future.
 They are fully satisfied with
they gain by the earning of
 children. It is ignored by them
that their children may
 participate even in educational
opportunities, but child
  labour deprives the children of
all the educational
 opportunities and minimises their
changes for vocational
 training. It also affects their health
and they are converted
 into labourers of low wages for all
their live
Who Started Child Labour?

tenements in 1883, where thousands of young children worked in the trade. The first

their child. This is a stage of caring, love and joy. If our government give free
education, free food etc. that can help to reduce this education is the basic right of every
children.
