In many societies, children as young as 13 are seen as adults and engage in the same activities as adults<\/p>\n\n\n\n Industrial revolution times<\/p>\n\n\n\n Child labour played an important role in Industrial Revolution from its onset , often brought about by economic hardship. The children of poor were expected to contribute to their family income<\/p>\n\n\n\n Early 20 th <\/sup> times<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 20th<\/sup> century , thousands of boys were employed in glass making industries where the hazardous working conditions ,intense heat (3313 . <\/sup>F) would cause many health issues like eye trouble, cuts, burns and lung ailments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 21st<\/sup> century<\/p>\n\n\n\n Child labour is still a problem . According to data from Census <\/strong>2011, the number of child laborers in India is 10.1 million <\/strong> of which 5.6 million <\/strong>are boys and 4.5 million <\/strong> are girls. A total of 152 million <\/strong>children -64 million <\/strong>girls and 88 million <\/strong> boys are estimated globally, accounting for almost one in ten of all children worldwide being the victims of child labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Causes<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n International Labour Organization (ILO) <\/strong>suggests that poverty is the greatest single cause behind child labour. For impoverished households, income from a child\u2019s work is usually crucial for his or her own survival or the that of household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lack of meaningful alternatives, such as affordable schools and quality education, according to ILO is another major factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Biggeri and Mehrotra <\/strong>have studied the macroeconomic <\/strong> factors that encourage child labour. They focused their study on five Asian countries including India,Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines. <\/em>They suggest that laws of child labour include both the demand and the supply side. While poverty and unavailability of good school , explain the supply side , low-paying informal economy rather than higher paying formal economy is the cause of demand side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Effects <\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We know that child labour involves exploitation of children but it is vital to understand it is not only child victim but how society suffer when it is implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The victims of child labour usually suffer from depression and anxiety , pushing them to destructive habits like smoking, alcoholism or drug abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Formative environment of abuse also trigger lifetime of low self esteem , depression and relationship difficulties . Physiological and emotional conditions such as panic disorder ,dissociative disorder, attention deficit or hyperactivity disorder, depression, anger ,posttraumatic stress disorder and relative attachment disorder have been also noted in children who have grown up in abusive conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Government Policies <\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Child labour is a serious problem in a country like India where we consider youth as the future of the country. Hence, to protect children from this vicious trap government has taken many steps such as:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion <\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Children are the gifts of nature and we should not destroy their childhood. It cannot be denied that even after having laws, we have not yet eradicated child labour but , their are many organization like ILO, UN Convention and government schemes, the efforts of whom are accountable in reducing child labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More strict laws and implementation will surely reduce this problem and the society as a whole can be uplifted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" -By Akash Pandey : Life of little ones are Destroyed When child labour is Employed Child labour refers to the exploitation of the children through any form of work that deprives children of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and is mentally, physically, socially or morally harmful.
