The employment of children in an

industry or business, especially when

illegal or considered exploitative is what

we say as ‘Child Labour’

Different sectors where they work

In rural area children are engaged in agricultural and allied occupations as a part of

family labour or as individual workers.

Children are engaged in various manufacturing process of different Home-based industries such as Brassware, Lock, Match and Fire works, Diamond

cutting etc

Whether the child is crushing rocks with a hammer or carrying loads on their backs

from deep within the earth, work in mines and quarries is clearly one of the worst

forms of child labor.

Official estimates for child labour working as domestic labour and in restaurants is more

than 2,500,000 while NGOs estimate the figure to be around 20 million.

Causes of Child Labour

Ineffective enforcement of the legal

provisions pertaining to child labour

Effects of Child Labour -Child Labour

Child Labour Around The World

Child Labour in India

According to the amendment in child labour act 1986, a ban is imposed on employing children age group between 5-14 years.

U.P. has the highest number of child labours. More than 80% are employed in

villages.

More than 12 million children in India are

child labours.

Among the most important factors driving children to harmful labour is the lack of availability and quality of schooling. Many communities, particularly rural

areas do not possess adequate school facilities.

According to 2005 Government of India NSSO, child labour incidence rates in India is highest among Muslim

Indians, about 40% higher than Hindu

Indians.

How can we restrict Child Labour?

Educate and create awareness amongst people employing child labours and the parents sending their children to

work.

We should further report the cases of

child labour.

By being a responsible citizen and ensure you

do not employ child labour.

Initiatives against Child Labour

The PROHIBITION AND REGULATION ACT was declared by the parliament on 23rd December , 1986.

It includes prohibition of employment of children in certain occupations and processes.

Whoever employs any child or permits any child to work in contravention of the provisions of this Act shall be punishable with imprisonment or with fine or with both.

NGOs working for Child Labours

Child is meant

to learn, not to earn.

Show a child love and

care, child labor is just

not fair

Don’t ask children to take

tool instead send them to

school.
