The Tragedy of Child Labour
Born to be Free Connection
India is a vibrant and diverse land - a country of immense contrast.960 million people, living in both poverty and wealth. Small farming villagesdot the countryside – millions crowd some of the world’s largest cities. Andwhat was once a purely agricultural society has become a major industrialpower. Here, hard manual labour has always been the norm. But thelabour backbone of many Indian industries is working children.Internationally, child labour is defined as any worker aged underfifteen years who lacks access to education or is involved in hazardousor heavy work.Globally, there are over 250 million child labourers. 100 million of these children go without schooling. Most of them are rural, and60 per cent are found in Asia. In India, child labour has existed forthousands of years.Today many landless people now supply industries with their children as a labourforce. For employers, children are a source of cheap labour. For many poor families,it’s the only way to survive. They have little choice, and their children becomeeconomic units.Over the last fifty years the Indian government has regulated against industryusing children under fourteen for factory labour. Factory owners and middlemen, ormudlali, are under increasing pressure to cease using children. But the tragedy of child labour still continues.Sevikasi
Sevikasi is a major industrial town in southern India. It’s known locally as mini-Japan. It’s thecentre of the fireworks and matchmaking industries, with two thousand factories within a ten-kilometreradius of the town centre. The work is unhealthy and dangerous, since it involves handling rawphosphorus andgunpowder. It’s poisonous to breathe or even touch these substances – yet the workers aresurroundedwith the chemicals all day. Since the region is too dry for farming, and there is little other workon offer,Whole communities are drawn into this hazardous factory work. The factory buses and vans start arriving in villages at 5am. Here in Kalaiyarkurichi about twohundred and fifty workers are picked up. Girls as young as eight are encouraged to dress as if they were teenagers to avoid attention from the authorities. They are also taught to run fromstrangers and cameras.
Some parents encourage their children to take thesehazardous jobs. They had to do it and now it’s their turn to live off their child’slabour. Many industries require children to work in unhygienic, dangerousconditions for more than 12 hours a day with no time for school or play.
Theirchildhood is sacrificed so that business can make more profit. For thechildren, it means illiteracy tied to a life sentence of tedious and hazardous work.Respiratory ailments and other health problems contracted at work are not dealt with.Workers won’t taketime off or pay a doctor’s fee.
Some factories offer incentives to ensure a permanent work force – they offerpayment for a wedding after eight years labour, or food and shelter to street kids in exchange for work.
