What is Child labor?
 Child labor is a global issue that prevents
children from fulfilling their expectation.
Child labour is a violation of children's
rights - the work can harm them mentally
or physically, expose them to dangerous
situations or stop them from going to
school.
Types of Child Labor
 Manufacturing
 Mining and Quarrying
 Commercial sexual exploitation of
children.
 Domestic Service.
 Hotels, Restaurants, and Retail.
 Trafficking in children.
Causes of Child labor
 Poverty and unemployment levels are
high.
 Lack of access to quality education
 Poor access to decent work
 Natural disasters & climate change
 Limited understanding of child labor
What is the age of child Labor?
 In India, the law addressing child labour is
known as the Child Labour Amendment
(Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 2016.
This law regulates the employment of
children and does not allow children below
the age of 14 to work except as a child artist
and in a family business.
How many are there?
 According to data from Census 2011, the
number of child laborers in India is 10.1
million of which 5.6 million are boys and
4.5 million are girls. A total of 152 million
children – 64 million girls and 88 million
boys – are estimated to be in child labour
globally, accounting for almost one in ten
of all children worldwide.
Regulation and Prohibition Act
 This was declared by the parliament
on 23rd December 1986.
 It includes Prohibition of employment
of children in certain occupations and
processes.
 No child shall be employed or
permitted to work in any of the
occupations which are dangerous by
its nature.
Effects Of Child Labor
 The difficulty of tasks and harsh
working conditions create a number of
problems such as
1. premature ageing,
2. malnutrition,
3. depression,
4. drug dependency etc.
 From disadvantaged backgrounds,
minority groups, or abducted from
their families, these children have no
protection.
How do we stop child Labor?
 Spread awareness.
 More stringent laws and effective
implementation.
 Supporting NGOs like Save the
Children.
 Sending more children to school.
 Discouraging people to employ
children in homes, shops,factories,
etc.
Conclusion
 The social malady of child labor can be
brought under control if each individual
takes responsibility for reporting about
anyone employing a child below the age
of 14years.
 So, instead of ignoring, we should find
out about reporting child labor and how
such children can be saved.
Thank You
