Answer:
Child labour in domestic work refers to situations where domestic work is performed by children below the relevant minimum age (for light work, full-time non-hazardous work), in hazardous conditions or in a slavery-like situation.
Household chores undertaken by children, in reasonable conditions, and under the supervision of those close to them are an integral part of family life and of growing up, therefore something positive. However, in some cases, there might be concerns over certain situations where these workloads might interfere with the children’s education or be excessive, in which case they might be tantamount to child labour.
As aware and responsible citizens of the country we should do whatever it takes to get the intolerable practice of child labour supporting. When you support an NGO like Save the Children, you are becoming part of a movement which is known for giving children their rights since 1919. The easiest and most efficient way to the fight against child labour is to donate online to an NGO like Save the Children. Your donations will fuel India's finest child rights activism, through programmes to uplift, empower and rescue children.
