Question

10 lines on NGOs for children
​

Answer 1

• Employment of children below a certain age limit is termed as child labour, which varies from country to country
• In India, the age limit for children is 14 years and any factory or industry employing children below 14 years is illegal.
• While there are many laws pertaining to child labour in India, but its implementation is pathetic on the ground.
• Parents tend to send their children to work and earn money instead of getting them educated because of poverty and hunger.
• Lack of basic facilities, poverty, overpopulation and corruption all leads to child labour in a country.
• When a factory employees a child, it is destroying his or her future and taking away the potential of childhood from a child.
• The industry where most child labour work in India is mining and quarrying, construction industry and manufacture of fast fashion clothes.
• Mining activities in Jharkhand, Orissa and northern part of Karnataka employs a lot of child labourers and this flouting of laws openly is criticized by the United Nations
• Factories employ child labour because it is cheaper than employing labourers beyond 18 years of age.
• Children are also employed in the service sector industries such as restaurants and real estates.
