Answer:
Not all work performed by children is child labour. Child labour is defined by international standards as work that is hazardous, demands too many hours, or is performed by children who are too young. Children work because their survival depends on it, because adults take advantage of their vulnerability, and because national education systems are weak. Child labour is sometimes the result of ingrained customs and traditions.
How and why it happens????
Even well-intended customs and traditions can be harmful, such as:
The view that work is good for children because it helps them build character and develop skillsThe tradition that children should follow their parents’ footsteps and learn their trade at an early ageThe importance of traditions that push poor families into debt, such as social occasions or religious events, which are paid off through child labour
Schooling is another important factor. Many communities do not have enough schools, or do not view education as a good alternative to work. Sometimes, children seek work themselves, because their families are financially strained. Economic hardship can lead to family dysfunction and, ultimately, child labour. Ending child labour is a complex process, but it is within reach. The key components are strictly-enforced legislation, followed by incremental societal change.
Labor rights or workers' rights are both legal rights and human rights relating to labor relations between workers and employers. These rights are codified in national and international labor and employment law. In general, these rights influence working conditions in relations of employment.
