Abolish child labour in our country
A session on ‘Group Discussion’ was conducted on the 20th March, 2020 in the conference hall of Department of Labour laws by the Recruitment Cell of the HP University, Shimla. Sh. Ashok Upadhayay was the coordinator for the group discussion. The group discussion was attended by many students from Admn. Department of HPU. The topic on abolish child labour given to group of 4 students in which I was one of the members. This group discussion was conducted to observe our personality and skills, ability to discuss on the given subject and to guide us on how to take part in Group Discussions.
In the discussion, all group members expressed their views about child labour and abolishing it. Manish, detailed about forms of child labour exits in our country i.e Within the family - where children are engaged in household tasks without payment, Within the family, but outside the home - Child labourers like domestic maids, migrant labourers and agricultural labourers, Outside the family - like working in restaurants, offices etc. As per our country’s last census, children in the age group 5-14 years constituted 10.2 million of the economically active children's workforce.
As per world reports on child labour, 1 out of 11 children in India is a victim of child labour. More than half of the 5 million working children in India are concentrated in the states of Bihar, UP, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and MP. The young ones between 15 and 17 years of age working in life threatening/risky/hazardous industries form 62.8% of the overall child labour population. Rakesh, law student in our group, discussed about laws of banning child labour i.e Fundamental Rights in the Constitution prohibit child labour below 14 years of age in factories, mines or hazardous employment under A24. A21-A states that State shall provide free and compulsory education for children between 6-14 years of age.
Factories Act of 1948 states that children below 14 years cannot be employed in a factory. The Mines Act of 1952 prohibits employment of child labour too. Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986 prohibits employment of children below 14 years of age. Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) of Children Act (2000) has made employment of children a punishable offence. I also put my views in front of my group regarding efforts for banning on child labour & eradicating poverty, action we are taking to stop child labour, laws should be framed to be used as instrument for combating child labour problem, Education for poor children and how to save children livelihood. Our forth participant discussed about major factors contributing child labour i.e Poverty and illiteracy of child's parents, Lack of awareness about impact of child labour, Lack of access to quality education and skill training, Unemployment and under-employment of adults, Cultural values of family and surrounding society.
After this discussion few major points came in front : -
1. It also came as one of the conclusions that even out of school children or those at risk of dropping out can be targets of child labour.
2. Girls from socially marginalised backgrounds are more likely to be forced into work
3. Conflicts, droughts and other natural disasters can also be contributing factors.
4. Rural poverty and urban migration can also lead to child trafficking. In 2016, the Modi government introduced comprehensive anti-trafficking laws and helpline numbers to report child labour. From education to monetary support,laws to regulations,successive governments have tried to eliminate child labour.This is a social evil with profound economic,social,psychological and welfare repercussions.
