    WHAT IS CHILD LABOUR?

    INTRODUCTION
    One of India’s most pervasive societal problems is
    child labor. Several businesses, including
    agriculture,manufacturing, construction, mining,
    and domestic service, employ children. India is the
    country with the most child laborers in the world,
    according to the International Labour Organization
    (ILO), with an estimated 10 million kids between
    the ages of 5 and 17 working in some capacity.
    Child labor is a widespread problem that is
    complicated by a number of social, economic, and
    cultural variables. Some of the main causes of the
    perpetuation of this issue include poverty,
    illiteracy, and insufficient enforcement of child
    labour laws. In addition to robbing kids of their
    childhood, child labor jeopardizes their health,
    education, and general well-being. In order to
    address the issue of child labour, the Indian
    government has taken a number of actions,
    including the adoption of laws and regulations to
    uphold children’s rights. To end this practise and
    guarantee that all children in India have access to
    education, healthcare, and other fundamental
    rights, however, much more work needs to be
    done.

    work done by children should be classified as
    child labour that is to be targeted for
    elimination. The participation of children or
    adolescents above the minimum age for
    admission to employment in work that does
    not affect their health and personal
    development or interfere with their schooling,
    is generally regarded as being something
    positive. This includes activities such as
    assisting in a family business or earning
    pocket money outside school hours and
    during school holidays. These kinds of
    activities contribute to children’s development
    and to the welfare of their families; they
    provide them with skills and experience, and
    help to prepare them to be productive
    members of society during their adult life.

    The term “child labour” is often defined as


    work that deprives children of their childhood,
    their potential and their dignity, and that is
    harmful to physical and mental development.
