ABSTRACT
The problem of child labour has been more serious in developing countries. Due poverty,
hunger, illiteracy, ignorance, traditional thinking and lack of proper implementation of child
labour laws in our country ,the problem of child labour is still persist in our society. The children
of age below 14 years have working in various fields and in very hazardous conditions. The
number of child labour has been increasing in our country and the number of child labour is
more in our country as compared to any other country in the world. Many provisions are
provided in our constitution and in laws to control child labour but socio-economic conditions
prevalent in the country do not force children to get compulsory education and to enjoy right to
education. The attempt has been made in this paper to provide brief account of child labour laws
in our country, reasons for child labour and suggestions to control child labou
In developing countries it is impossible to control child labour as children have been considered
as helping hand to feed their families, to support their families and to feed themselves. Due to
poverty, illiteracy and unemployment parents are unable to bear the burden of feeding their
children and to run their families. So, poor parents send their children for work in inhuman
conditions at lower wages. The child labour lead to underdevelopment, incomplete mental and
physical development, which in turn results in retarded growth of children. Due to lack of proper
implementation of child labour laws, improper implementation of child welfare plans and
improper checks by department of women and child welfare, the problem of child labour has
been still persisting in our society in urban as well as in rural areas. Children in our country work
as rag pickers, dish washers in dabhas, as labourers in small factories, as domestic helpers in big
cities.
India has largest number of children employed than any other country in the world. Around
90 million out of 179 million children in the age group of 6-14 year do not go to school and are
engaged in some occupation or other so around 50 percent of children of our country are
involved in child labour. A large numbers of children are engaged in cottage industries: carpet,
matches, firecrackers, bidis, brassware, diamond, glass, and hosiery, hand loomed cloth, leather
goods, plastic, bangles, sporting goods, at shops as helpers
