Expansion of theme- Child Labour- A Curse
Answers
Answer:
In today’s world, people are so engrossed in their activities that they stopped bothering about the society. Imagine…. What if…. Someone takes away your child and forces him/her to work for somebody else rather than to play in the safety of their own… into acting like cattle in fields with dangerous chemicals…To beg on streets instead of playing with cars..!!!!! Can you imagine your child like this?? Can you bear it?
The prevalence of child labour reflects very badly on society .More than 160 million parents have to undergo this in India every year. 60 million children in India are forced into degrading jobs every year. The working children in India are mostly engaged in hotels, building sites, factories and in houses as domestic servants. Vast majority of child labour is found in rural areas.And this, is the largest number of child labourers in a developing country like INDIA which is approximately 6-7% of today’s population. Child labour is a very serious problem not only in India, but also in the other developing countries.
The causes for child labour in our country could be over population, poverty, high cost of education, shortage of schools, classrooms, teachers especially in the rural areas where 90% of the poverty is observed and many more.
The 60 million child labours are forced to work for 8 hrs a day, 200 days a year, at a cost of Rs. 15/- per child per day.Whereas, adult labourers are paid Rs. 115/- per adult per day. And this, ultimately results in burdening of taxes. In the rural areas, for more income, parents force their children into child labour for enough food and this cycle keeps on repeating as this is the only choice for them to survive..
Now, the question here is, what can we do to eliminate child labour??
We can start empowering ourselves with the knowledge about this problem. Global assessment of efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labour . ASK QUESTIONS. TAKE ACTION. DEMAND CHANGE.Slavery, child labour, trafficking, child marriage, child sexual abuse and illiteracy . These things have no place in civilised society. Enforce the laws for child labour strictly.Let us be the first generation that decides to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods and wasted potentials.
"Be the change that u wish to see in the world"
"LET US ALL SAY NO TO CHILD LABOUR AND CREATE A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR INDIA BY SAVING A CHILD TODAY!!! TODAY IS SOME CHILD… TOMORROW IT COULD BE YOURS!!!"
