Explanation:
Child labour is a social malice that stches the most innocent phase of human life - childhood. It denotes the employment of children in economic activities that suppress their dignity and potentiality. Children of below 14 years are forced to do labour work in extreme hazardous conditions and paid a penny amount as wages for their tireless long hours of work. The problem of child labour is a serious concern not only in India but also in other developing countries. It is a great social problem and India, sadly, is the home to the largest number of child labourers in the world. It is any economic activity performed by someone younger than the age 15.
Child labour is a curse for a country like India where over 12 million children are engaged in various areas of economic activities. Among them, some children are working in extreme hazardous conditions in various sectors like fireworks, various chemical processing units, coal mining etc. Besides, a large number of children are engaged in domestic services often hidden from the public eye. It is estimated that there are 15.5 million child domestic worker worldwide and 19 per cent of child labourers in India work as domestic help.
