Child labour (Learning form developing countries)

Child labour has been acknowledged as a serious and challenging issue in the civilized societies around the globe. Its continued existence remains a source of concern for all segments of human society. In spite of the threats of trade barriers, in spite of the call of moral understanding of the issue and active participation of government employers, workers and NGOs, the prevalence of child labour in the developing nations is one proof that practical dependence on working children still has an alarming sound around the world. The project also aims at providing an insight at the position of child labour in India when compared to the incidents of child labour in other countries which are at par with India. Though constitution has tried protecting the children and making sure they are given proper education and means of living , it hasnt been properly implemented .
