Child Labour, its Causes, Consequences and Laws
Child labour is very harmful for young ones in order to their physical, moral and mental development. Though many reasons are there for child slavery or child trafficking but survey says that main cause of child labour are high level poverty and lack of access to good education. Development of the country is directly affected by this crime and child labour is a big reason of under-development of the country. A financially developed country provides all circumstances to its citizens that can help in making their new generations educated and healthy.
In India, many organizations are working for preventing this evil child labour but still it is growing in many illegal, unauthorized industries with some legal companies too. These organizations are of both types, hazardous and non hazardous. According to “The Childs Labour Prohibition and regulation act”, made in 1986, an age criterion for child in hazardous fields is fewer than 14 and non hazardous is under 17.
In this study, we focus on Spanish-speaking, predominantly foreign-born mothers and their young children living in a large metropolitan area of the southwestern United States. Participating families were recruited when the target child was 2½ years of age, an age at which child self-regulatory capacities are just beginning to emerge. This population of first-generation Hispanic children being raised in a Spanish-dominant home environment represents a group of children uniquely at risk for early academic failure but for which experts have very little data regarding the dual domains of language and self-regulation development. Specifically, we ask the following research questions: What is the role of maternal behaviors in supporting vocabulary and inhibitory control development in this population? Does vocabulary mediate the relation between maternal sensitivity and inhibitory control? We predicted that higher levels of maternal sensitivity and lower levels of maternal intrusiveness would be associated with higher vocabulary and better inhibitory control skills. Furthermore, we predicted that higher maternal sensitivity and lower maternal intrusiveness would be associated with greater growth in child inhibitory control capacities from age 2½ to age 3½ and that this relation would be mediated by the association of maternal behavior with child vocabulary.
