5. How to stop child labor ?
A child labour free zone is a defined area, such as a village or a plantation, where everyone is convinced that ‘No child should be working, every child should be in school!’ Teachers, local authorities, village leaders, employers, parents and children in these zones work together to get children out of work and into school. Child labour is no longer accepted because all children are entitled to good, full-time education. The focus is not on child labour in specific sectors, but on all children who work and do not go to school.

Child Labour continues to be a concern in this day and age but because of the efforts of labour groups, governments, companies and ordinary people like you and me, the number of companies employing child labour is going down.
What can be done to stop child labour completely? How can we as a civilization come together and solve this injustice being done to our young generation? There are many ways to help and every action that discourages this inhuman practice, no matter how small, will go a long way.

Let’s accept that the people who employ children at their homes or places of work in the name of giving them an opportunity to earn a living and sustain themselves instead of starving, are not as charitable as they pretend to be. They benefit greatly from the children they look upon as nothing more than cheap labour; labour that doesn’t question them, is always at their service, resides in a corner of their house to answer their every beck and call, and can be molded to the best of the owner’s needs.

4.Are the family it self involved ?
Childhood health is associated with a wide variety of outcomes throughout the life course, from ongoing physical and mental health to disability, mortality, and socioeconomic status. Families bear the primary responsibility for making direct investments in children, as well as for regulating and allotting other public and private investments. That is, families provide the caregiving context in which most children grow and develop; they also provide and allocate resources to children. In this way, families play the primary role in promoting child health and development. Thus, any effort to promote child health must necessarily involve families. Yet the quality of the family environments in which children are raised varies considerably; in particular, not all families provide safe, stable, and high-quality care.

More than 151 million children, some as young as five, are engaged in harmful child labour instead of getting an education or playing. That's 151 million reasons to stop the practice.

Around the world there are an estimated 151 million victims of child labour, aged 5-17, and the majority of them work in agriculture, including cocoa, coffee and cotton plantations. Half those children are under the age of 11, and almost 73 million of them work in hazardous conditions.

3.Do boys suffer with this issue ?
Child labour is not always illegal

Families and employers often hide what they are doing because they worry they will be taken to court or sent to prison for having child labourers. There are 46 countries who do not have laws to protect children under 18 from doing dangerous work.

Child labour is a global issue that prevents children from fulfilling their potential. Child labour is a violation of children's rights - the work can harm them mentally or physically, expose them to hazardous situations or stop them from going to school.

Not all work done by children is classed as child labour. There is not an issue when a child is working to progress their life skills without compromising their health, their well-being or their education. Often older children may do chores for their parents or small jobs to earn pocket money or gain work experience. This work prepares them for their adult working life.

Gender is a crucial determinant of
whether a child engages in labour.
While child labour is an infringement
of the rights of all children – boys and
girls alike – girls often start working
at an earlier age than boys, especially
in the rural areas where most work-
ing children are found. Girls also tend
to do more work in the home than
boys. As a result of adherence to
traditional gender roles, many girls
are denied their right to an education
or may suffer the triple burden of
housework, schoolwork and work
outside the home, paid or unpaid.

1.What are the consequences of child labor ?
In certain cases, child labour also endangers a child's dignity and morals, especially when sexual exploitation is involved, such as prostitution and child pornography. Furthermore, a child who works will be more exposed to malnutrition. These children are often victims of physical, mental, and sexual violence.

The difficulty of tasks and harsh working conditions create a number of problems such as premature ageing, malnutrition, depression, drug dependency etc.

From disadvantaged backgrounds, minority groups, or abducted from their families, these children have no protection. Their employers do whatever necessary to make them completely invisible and are thus able to exercise an absolute control over them. These children work in degrading conditions, undermining all the principles and fundamental rights based in human nature

Children are exposed to accidental and other injuries at work. They should thus be protected to prevent social, economic and physical harm, which persist to affect them during their lifetime. Such injuries include¹ :

General child injuries and abuses like cuts, burns and lacerations, fractures, tiredness and dizziness, excessive fears and nightmares.

Sexual abuse, particularly sexual exploitation of girls by adults, rape, prostitution, early and unwanted pregnancy, abortion, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and HIV/AIDS, drugs and alcoholism.

Physical abuse that involve corporal punishment, emotional maltreatment such as blaming, belittling, verbal attacks, rejection, humiliation and bad remarks.

Emotional neglect such as deprivation of family love and affection, resulting in loneliness, and hopelessness.

Physical neglect like lack of adequate provision of food, clothing, shelter and medical treatment.

Lack of schooling results in missing educational qualifications and higher skills thus perpetuating their life in poverty.

Competition of children with adult workers leads to depressing wages and salaries.

Apart from the above, lack of opportunity for higher education for older children deprives the nation of developing higher skills and technological capabilities that are required for economic development/transformation to attain higher income and better standards of living.

2.What causes child labor ?
Child labor persists even though laws and standards to eliminate it exist. Current causes of global child labor are similar to its causes in the U.S. 100 years ago, including poverty, limited access to education, repression of workers’ rights, and limited prohibitions on child labor.

Children work because their survival and that of their families depend on it, and in many cases because unscrupulous adults take advantage of their vulnerability. It is also due to inadequacies and weaknesses in national educational systems. It is deeply ingrained in cultural and social attitudes and traditions.

Child labor is a pervasive problem throughout the world, especially in developing
countries. Africa and Asia together account for over 90 percent of total child
employment. Child labor is especially prevalent in rural areas where the capacity to
enforce minimum age requirements for schooling and work is lacking.

According to the 2008 Resolution II adopted during the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians, the term ‘child labour’ covers:

The worst forms of child labour, including slavery; prostitution and pornography; illicit activities; and work likely to harm children’s health, safety or morals, as defined in ILO Convention No. 182.

Employment below the minimum age of 15, as established in ILO Convention No. 138.

Hazardous unpaid household services, including household chores performed for long hours, in an unhealthy environment, in dangerous locations, and involving unsafe equipment or heavy loads.

More than 30 years after Parliament passed a law to protect children below 14 years of age from child labour, the practice continues in India. Coming across a child working at a brick kiln, a roadside tea shop, a stone quarry, a bangle factory or on a farm isn't rare. Travel to any part of India, and you are bound to come across one of these sights.

Today, throughout the world, around 218 million children work, many full-time. They do not go to school and have little or no time to play. Many do not receive proper nutrition or care. They are denied the chance to be children. More than half of them are exposed to the worst forms of child labour such as work in hazardous environments, slavery, or other forms of forced labour, illicit activities including drug trafficking and prostitution, as well as involvement in armed conflict.
