CHILD LABOUR




You may have heard the term "child labour" in the news or in the movies. It is a crime in which children are forced to work for the average age a child to be considered suitable for work is fifteen years or older. Children under this age will not be permitted to engage in any type of forced labour. Why is this the case? Because child labour denies children the right to a normal childhood, a proper education, and physical and mental well-being. It is illegal in some countries, but it is still a long way from being completely eradicated.m a young age. It's like expecting children to take on responsibilities like working and providing for themselves. Certain policies have placed restrictions and limitations on children working. Child labour occurs for a variety of reasons. While some of the reasons may be universal in some countries, others are unique to specific areas or regions. We will be able to fight child labour more effectively if we understand what causes it.

For starters, it occurs in countries with high levels of poverty and unemployment. When a family's earnings are insufficient, the children are forced to work for the family to survive. Similarly, if the adults in the family are unemployed, the children must fill their shoes. Furthermore, when people lack access to education, they will eventually force their children to work. The uneducated are only concerned with the short term, which is why they put children to work to survive in the present.


Furthermore, the cost-cutting mindset of various industries is a major contributor to child labour. They hire children because they pay them less than adults for the same work. They prefer children because they work more than adults and for less money. They can easily influence and manipulate them. They are only concerned with profit, which is why they employ children in factories. If we want to eliminate child labour, we must devise some very effective solutions that will save our children. It will also benefit any country dealing with these social issues in the future. To begin, several unions dedicated solely to the prevention of child labour can be formed. It should encourage children to participate in this work and punish those who force them to do so.



Furthermore, we must keep parents informed to instil the value of education in their children. If we make education free and raise public awareness, we will be able to educate an increasing number of children who will not be forced to work as children. Furthermore, raising public awareness of the negative consequences of child labour is essential. In addition, family control measures must be implemented. This will lessen the family's burden because, with fewer mouths to feed, the parents will be able to work for themselves rather than the children. The government must guarantee a minimum income to every family for them to survive.


To put it simply, the government and the people must work together. People must be provided with ample employment opportunities so that they can earn a living rather than putting their children to work. Children are our country's future; we cannot expect them to maintain their families' economic conditions instead of having a normal childhood.
