You’ve heard of child labour right? Well, many people to this day aren’t aware of what child labour is; it’s children that don’t attend school, or have any free time because they are forced to do work that usually harms them. As the graph below shows, there are many countries dealing with the issue of child labour, India being the most.
Child labour can occur in India due to the following:
 |
| Child Labour 2002 |
- Lack of elementary education at the primary level
- Non availability of schools in rural areas
- Parent ignorance
- Lack of proper guidance
- Poverty
- Adult unemployment
- Multinationals preference to employ child workers
- Urbanization
Imagine, you have children approximately age 5-14 working, which is making them composed to a hazardous and dangerous work place. This is absolutely cruel! A working atmosphere is no place for children, especially in India. They should be making happy memories playing with their friends, not dreadful thoughts of not having the freedom to play because they had to work. That's awful! Child labour is deprivation of one's childhood and education opportunities. There can be effects that include a loss of potential and dignity in themselves, which would cause harm to a child's physical and mental development. Hopefully, once I post more information on child labour in India my viewers will realize how terrible and unhealthy it really is.
