Question

why are children not allowed to work in factories

Answer 1

children are not allowed to work in factories for several reasons. 

1. Child labor 

factory owners hire children for factory work as it is cheap labor. child labor is an offense and against the law in our country and government has made many laws to abolish it. thus it is illegal to hire children to work in factories. 

2. unsafe working conditions

factories are unsafe for children. they are exposed to things such as, dangerous machinery, toxic fumes, harmful substances that can cause physical harm and/or cause diseases. thus they are not allowed to work in factories.

3. they wont get education

right to free and compulsory education is our fundamental right. children working in factories are deprived of this and thus it is punishable offense to deprive of them this opportunity. 

Answer 2

A succession of laws on child labour, the so-called Factory Acts, were passed in the UK in the 19th century. Children younger than nine were not allowed to work, those aged 9–16 could work 16 hours per day per Cotton Mills Act. In 1856, the law permitted child labour past age 9, for 60 hours per week, night or day. In 1901, the permissible child labour age was raised to 12.Child labour refers to the employment of children in any work that deprives children of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful. This practice is considered exploitative by many international organisations. Legislation across the world prohibit child labour. These laws do not consider all work by children as child labour; exceptions include work by child artists, family duties, supervised training, certain categories of work such as those by Amishchildren, some forms of child work common among indigenous American children, and others.

Child labour has existed to varying extents, through most of history. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many children aged 5–14 from poorer families still worked in Europe, the United States and various colonies of European powers. These children mainly worked in agriculture, home-based assembly operations, factories, mining and in services such as news boys. Some worked night shifts lasting 12 hours. With the rise of household income, availability of schools and passage of child labour laws, the incidence rates of child labour fell.

In the world’s poorest countries, around 1 in 4 children are engaged in child labour, the highest number of whom (29 percent) live in sub-saharan Africa. In 2017, four African nations (Mali, Benin, Chad and Guinea-Bissau) witnessed over 50 percent of children aged 5–14 working. Worldwide agriculture is the largest employer of child labour. The vast majority of child labour is found in rural settings and informal urban economy; children are predominantly employed by their parents, rather than factories.Poverty and lack of schools are considered as the primary cause of child labour.

Globally the incidence of child labour decreased from 25% to 10% between 1960 and 2003, according to the World Bank.Nevertheless, the total number of child labourers remains high, with UNICEF and ILOacknowledging an estimated 168 million children aged 5–17 worldwide, were involved in child labour in 2013.
