survey to examine the determinants of child labour. The results from this study demonstrate that the variables such as household size, household income, and the gender of children significantly affect child labour supply.
Answer:
1. Background
Child labour is work that harms children or keeps them from attending school. Around theworld and in the U. S., growing gaps between rich and poor in recent decades have forcedmillions of young children out of school and into work. The International LabourOrganization estimates that 215 million children between the ages of 5 and 17 currently workunder conditions that are considered illegal, hazardous, or extremely exploitative. Underagechildren work at all sorts of jobs around the world, usually because they and their families areextremely poor. Large numbers of children work in commercial agriculture, fishing,manufacturing, mining, and domestic service. Some children work in illicit activities like thedrug trade and prostitution or other traumatic activities such as serving as soldiers.Child labour is defined
as “under
aged children working for money or food or for any other basic
needs”. There
are thousands of children who work as labour in factories, constructionsites and homes. This is a problem that the government and the people need to dealimmediately.Child who work as labourers are made to do backbreaking work all day long.They are easy to be ordered around and other labourers too might tell them to do this or that .They are paidlesser that grownups and even beaten or ambushed. They are abused in every field.Forinstance, while carrying stones, while working in machinery etc. and some of them workon machines with risky that many children have been maimed and killed while working onsuch machines.One major reason for people sending their children to work is poverty and financialdifficulties. Most of the poor people are uneducated so they are not aware of science andtechnologies. They are still wrapped in superstition and false beliefs. Day by day populationis rapidly growing and there are unlimited demand of people over the limited opportunitywhich can also be taken as the reason of child labour especially in the country like Nepal.We should look at child labour from different angles. The solution to the problem lies ineconomic development and jobs for all. The Government and other organizations must do theneedful step to bring about an end to poverty,illiteracy,narrow thinking, which willautomatically end child labour.

7.Methodology Used
The method of the study is descriptive and exploratory. It is descriptive as it is based ondetailed investigation and records the study area. It is exploratory as the information derivedfrom the study has focused for analysing the ways to accommodate for the reduction of childlabour. Both primary and secondary data have been used for the study. Therefore Primarydata are collected by the survey, observation, questionnaire and interview. Both published,unpublished materials related to the subject matter are secondary.
8. Limitations of the Study
ok
Child labour is the common problem of Nepal since last few years, and as we havediscussed especially about Kathmandu valley so some limitations are as follows:i. Since the research is based on the condition of street children in Kathmandu valley, thismight not be applicable widelyii.Study is done via interview with the children themselves so they might not provide accurateinformationiii.It
doesn’t
covers a wide scope because it is a very vast topiciv.Since the study is conducted for the partial fulfilment
for the Bachelor’s degree and the
researcher is a student, time and money are the two major constraints of this study. Becauseofthese constraints, this study has deliberately not included some aspects of the child labour problem.
