    Child labour is often seen only to occur in third world countries but this is not the case. Child labour occurs all over the world and the brutality and cruelty of this work varies. Although child labour is seen as a bad thing, for the children and families living in their poor conditions, child labour is seen as necessary for the family to live as it is an essential income. UNICEF estimates that around 150 million children aged 5-14 in developing countries, about 16 per cent of all children in this age group, are involved in child labour. Therefore child labour is still a big problem in our world today especially as some children are forced to work in dangerous, unhygienic, life threatening conditions. Not only does is it harmful to their physical body it also effects their education as some children drop out of education to work. Even though many organisations and charities attempt to stop child labour or at least make the conditions suitable for children, child labour is still seen as a big problem in the 20th century.…

    The abusers can be family members, parents, caretakers such as babysitters and teachers, and strangers. Abuse occurs among all ethnic, social, and income groups. Most parents don't hurt or neglect their children intentionally. Many were themselves abused or neglected. Usually the cases that are reported involve poor families with little education. Also common in reports are young mothers, single-parent families, and parental drug or alcohol abuse. The frequency of child abuse is difficult to estimate, due to so many cases going unreported.…

    Elimination of child labour is a matter of concern for Government and policy makers along with framers of laws at the national and State level too. It may be presumed that children not attending the school between the age group of five to fourteen are somewhere at work. The Constitution guaranteed them fundamental right to free and compulsory education and on the other hand imposed fundamental duties of the parent or guardian to send their child or ward to school. It is true that due to the governmental efforts and intervention, there has been a steady decline in the incident of child labour in India. This has been indicated in Census 2001 and also by NSSO.…

    “The child is the father of man”. This famous line quoted by William Wordsworth refers to the importance of the child for the development of society as well as for the all round development of human race. Childhood is the time to garner the best physical, (ADJECTIVE) intellectual (ADJECTIVE) and emotional (ADJECTIVE) capacity to fulfill this duty towards the nation and to one’s own self. However, this simple rule of nature has been crippled by the ever growing menace of child labour. If one conceives the idea of child labour, it brings before the eyes the picture of exploitation of little, physically (adverb) tender, illiterate and under nourished children working in hazardous (ADJECTIVE) and unhealthy (ADJECTIVE) conditions. Child labour is a situation in which young children are employed to work on firms, homes, mines and hotels. The practice is common in underdeveloped countries but is limited in developing countries as well where it is considered to be illegal and violation of human rights.…
