    India has the highest number of child laborers in the world, estimated at 10 million between ages 5-17. They work in agriculture, domestic work, construction, and mines. Poverty, illiteracy, lack of access to education, and insufficient enforcement of laws perpetuate the problem. The government and NGOs have taken actions like adopting laws upholding children's rights, and initiatives for awareness, education, and supporting families. A multifaceted approach is still needed to prevent child labor through stronger legal enforcement, education, economic opportunities, and corporate social responsibility.
