 Child Labor is the practice of having children engage in economic

activity on part or full time basis. The practice deprives children

of their childhood, and is harmful to their physical and mental
development. Poverty, lack of good schools and growth of informal
economy are considered as the important causes of child labor in
India
 Causes of child labor

families are unable to earn their livelihood, so they send their children for
child labor.
 Due to lack of education, parents think that the sooner children learn to
earn, the sooner it will be better for them
 The parents of some parents are greedy, who do not want to work
themselves and send their children to do hard work for few rupees
