Thread: Child Labour in India

Poor children in India are child labors ,their own parents and guardians are encouraging child to work,even though lot of sections and laws are not permitting so but,child labour are going on increasing,in the houses of rich people, politicians and celebrities child labor are seen even allof them known about everything no one, uplift them to study.It is very common thing for them,their speeches are meant only for meetings but not in practical life.All the child should stop working,and they should be accommodated well to study.

THis is a matter of fact that more than 60% of children below teh age of 10 years are working as a tea staller, working in dhabas and as a shoe mendor.. This hurts us but politicians have become deaf and they are bsuy in making their own luxury. It is banned but why still millions of children working at the stage of getting proper education?

Its a very sad matter to discuss.. I believe child labour in india has increased a lot.. where evr you go in any part of india you will see children working at stations, dhabas, parlor, restaurants and as a beggar.. this is very sad part of indian people..

Poverty drives out the tender hands to work in different sectors. The problem of the child labors is increasing very rapidly. The Government has made law for them but it is not followed. The elders of the family are forcing the children to work in adverse areas like cracker factory, domestic helper, worker in the local tea shop and other places. They are deprived of education and the worst thing is that they are losing their childhood which is very precious.

I cry inside when I see a "Chhotu" everywhere...restaurants, petrol pumps, mechanic shops, general stores, etc. There are many NGOs and organizations for such unfortunate children but on paper. Currently, there are 2 Million registered NGOs in India....I repeat registered...to get benefits, grants and aids from government, public, corporates and foreign countries.....for themselves. God!

It is the most serious problem that India is facing today. I really feel bad when I hear of so small kids working to earn bread for their own selves.

Doesn't it shake your soul when you hear about child labour? I don't understand that why is this problem arising in our nation? How can any person take work from small kids, who should learn to study in school to make their lives worth living?

Child labor in india is another social evil prevailing in india. The reason for this is poverty. Poor people do not have enough money to bring up their children and educate them. So they send them for work as this helps them to earn little money. Though education is made free, some people send their children for work as they can make more money if they are not working. Citizens of india should come forward to check such activities.

Child labor in India is a big issue. The people below poverty line are having more kids and they do not have enough money to feed so many mouths and hence their parent only encourages them to work. The child labor in India is increasing with population and government as well as the people of Indian should support this movement, by not encouraging the children to work. The government should develop more centers where these deprived children can get basic education, which can help them in their future.

Need to address some issues regarding child labor.

• Some working places are hazardous to health, children may be or may not be aware of it's consequences.
• Some employers exploit child labor. They pay less to children.
• Children may be forced to do work against their wishes. Girls may be forced into prostitution.

There may be lot of other issues like child may not be given all rights deserved as an employee. In such cases we need some law to alleviate child abuses. Either government provide all basic facilities required for living so that poor children can study and make their future better or should provide the appropriate job opportunities. Banning child labor will cause problems for poor children, who have no other source of income. But if measures are not taken to specify rules regarding child labor some selfish people may exploit children.

Most children work to support their family. if child labor is banned, their family will die of malnutrition. so unless proper means are there to provide basic square meals to all, Child labour can not be banned in India.Laws should be enforced against bonded or forced labor and children should be provided all rights deserved as a worker.

india is witnessing rise in child labor as people are finding it easy to deploy children into smaller activities for low wages. the parents of poor children find it better to send their child to work rather than sending him/her to school as they bring home money and this helps them match their financial needs.
