    topic :poverty and inequality


    issue : Child labour
    Rq:Do child labour be safe while doing work

    Introduction: The term "child labor" describes the employment of


    minors in any job that robs them of their youth, prevents them from
    attending a regular school, or is otherwise damaging and dangerous
    to their mental, physical, social, or moral development. These kids
    face health hazards and lack access to educational opportunities.
    Since it denies children an education and forces them into exploitative
    settings, child labor can be considered open exploitation. Young
    people who work run the risk of developing occupational illnesses
    such as skin diseases, lung diseases, and vision problems.

    Causes:Children labor because it is necessary for their survival and


    the survival of their families, and frequently because dishonest adults
    take advantage of their weakness. It is also a result of shortcomings
    and inadequacies in national education systems. It is profoundly
    embedded in social and cultural customs and attitudes.Without a
    doubt, the biggest factor pushing kids into the workforce is poverty. It
    is believed that a child's ability to support themselves or their family
    depends on the money they earn from their labor.The families
    themselves play a significant role. Many children undertake unpaid
    jobs in family businesses that rely on labor from family members to
    exist, such as farms and unofficial workshops.

    Consequences:The consequences are extraordinary. Child labor


    can lead to severe physical and psychological trauma, as well as
    death. Slavery and economic or sexual exploitation may result from it.
    Furthermore, it restricts children's access to health care and education
    in almost all cases, which violates their fundamental rights.Child labor
    can cause serious mental and physical injuries, as well as potentially
    death. It may result in economic as well as slavery. Furthermore, it
    restricts children's fundamental rights by keeping them out of school
    and out of the medical system in almost all cases.Slavery and
    economic or sexual exploitation may result from it. Furthermore, it
    restricts children's access to health care and education in almost all
    cases, which violates their fundamental rights.

    Global perspective:Since 2016, the number of children between


    the ages of 5 and 17 who work in hazardous jobs, which are defined
    as jobs that could endanger their health, safety, or morals, has
    increased by 6.5 million to 79 million.The most recent figures from
    around the world show that there are 160 million children working as
    minors globally, an increase of 8.4 million over the previous four
    years. In the beginning of 2020, 97 million boys and 63 million girls
    worked as children worldwide, making up about one in ten of all
    children.Laws protecting the rights of young people worldwide provide
    them protection from harm, education, safety, a say in choices
    affecting them, and space and time for play.

    national perspective:India is a well-known peninsular nation


    worldwide. The world's highest rate of child labor is found in India. It
    was estimated at 13.65 million in the 1981 census, and at 17.02
    million in the 43rd round of the National Sample Survey. Just 11 states
    account for the majority of child laborers—more than 90% of
    them.Nation-state economies are at risk due to the ongoing practice of
    child labor and exploitation, which also has grave short- and long-term
    effects on children, including loss of education and damage to
    physical and mental health.
