Conclusion.
A child is not necessarily
delineated by a fixed age.

According to the scientists, it is

impossible to determine the
abilities and maturities of children
by his/her calender age.
 Child labour is generally speaking, work for children
that harms them or exploits them in someway
(physically, mentally, morally or by blocking access to
education).

It is the work that exceeds a minimum number of

hours depending on the age of a child and on the type
of work.
 Overexploitation of population.
Decrease of resources.
Decrease in literacy.
Increase of poverty.
Increase of unemployment.
Lack of schooling and daily care.
Limited choices for women.
 61% in Asia, 32% in Africa, and 7% in Latin
America, 1% in US, Canada, Europe and other
wealthy nations.
In Asia, 22% of the workforce is children. In
Latin America, 17% of the workforce is children.
246 million child workers aged 5 and 17 were
involved in child labor.
Out of which 171 million were involved in work
that by its nature is hazardous.
 According to certain experts approximately 10
million bonded children labourers are working as
dome In South Asia.
Beyond this there are almost 55 million bonded child
labourers hired across various other industries.
Less than 5% of child laborers make products for
export to other countries.
 One in every six children aged 5 to 17
worldwide is exploited by child labor.
There are approximately 9 million children
involved in the unconditional worst forms of
child labor.
In Sub-Saharan Africa around one in three
children are engaged in child labor,
representing 69 million children.
In South Asia, another 44 million are engaged
in child labor.
 This was declared by the parliament on 23rd
December, 1986.
It includes Prohibition of employment of
children in certain occupations and processes.
No child shall be employed or permitted to
work in any of the occupations which are
hazardous by its nature.
 The social malady of child labor can be brought
under control, if each individual takes
responsibility of reporting about anyone
employing a child below the age of 14years.
Thus, instead of ignoring on should find out
about reporting child labor and how such
children can actually be saved.
Child labor can be controlled if the government
functions effectively with the support of the
public.
