    Child Labour

    Presentation by: Capt. Sumit Sharma Varun Lakhwani V Hariharan Som Shekhar

    A picture is worth a thousand words!!

    We have some good ones!!

    Some not so good ones!!

    And some bitter ones!!

    Child Labour includes


    Work performed by children under the age of 15
    Long hours of work on a regular or full-time basis Abusive treatment by the employer

    No access, or poor access, to education


    Usually child Labour means involving children for work that can hinder their growth physically, mentally or socially

    Child Labour, however, is not always bad. It sometimes lets the child learn new skills

    Child Labour Some Facts


    Globally number of child Labourers Engaged in hazardous work Less than 10 years old 218 million 12.6 million 73 million

    India is the country with highest number of Labourers in the world under 14 years of age 42 million children in the age-group 6-14 years do not attend school in India

    The Prime Cause: Poverty


    Poverty is the main cause of child Labour. It is really difficult to differentiate between forced and chosen

    Other Causes
    Illiteracy
    Increasing Population Unemployment for elders

    Urbanization
    Social Apathy Orphans Supply & Demand Willingness to Exploit Children

    We see them everyday

    Some jobs are not dangerous Some are

    What can we do?

    Say NO
    It starts from us. If only we can ensure that around us no child will be deprived of education, food and shelter Instruct others to do so too Create awareness Use law enforcement

    Lets have the happy world again

    Thank You
