essay in 350 words about child labour
Answers
Answer:
Child labor refers to the employment of children. This practice is illegal in many countries. In rich countries it is considered as a human rights violation.
Child labor goes back a long way in time. During the Victorian era, many young children were made to work in factories and mines and as chimney sweeps. Child labor played an important role in the Industrial Revolution. Charles Dickens worked at the age of 12 in the Blacking Factory, while his family was in debtor’s prison. In those days, children as young as four were employed in production factories with dangerous working conditions.
With universal schooling and the introduction of concepts like human rights and child rights, slowly child labor fell into disrepute. The first general laws against child labor, the Factory Acts, were passed in Britain in the first half of the 19th century. Children younger than nine were not allowed to work.
