Rapid population growth in India is by and large responsible for poor socio-
economic condition, low per capita income, poverty and food insecurity. Ultimately,
it gave rise to child labour, particularly among the down trodden societies/families.
Child labour is one of the most challenging problems facing by the developing world
at the beginning of the 21st century. Poverty, lack of education, unemployment,
family break-ups, loss of bread earner, poor health, and gender inequalities highlight
the need for broad-based social and economic problems that are closely linked to
child labour. In Aligarh city children are engaged in all kind of activities, from
household work to lock manufacturing, from construction to selling in shops and in
the streets, from repairing to garbage collecting and rag-picking, besides food
preparation, dish washing and serving in hotels as helper on road side eateries
(Dhabas), from vendors to rickshaw pulling etc. It is concluded that in most cases they
are forced to enter the labour market due to poverty and irresponsible attitude of the
parents. The desire of parents to have supplementary family income to run the show,
coupled with Government’s apathy and improper planning towards their education
and educational facilities are also responsible for child labour in some cases. The poor
statuses of households are reflected in their meagre earnings, type of houses they live,
their standard of living and household environment. The households having no other
source of income like land and any side business; hence have no option but to send
their children to work. Household characteristics indicates that the poor economic
conditions are responsible for child labour, whether for survival or to support the
siblings or to willingness to get more money in hand quickly to full fill his aspirations
and in some cases to meet his education fee etc.
