Pranathi: thank you ma’am . my topic for today is CHILD LABOUR
A large number of children in India are quite strangers to the joys and innocence of the
formative years of their lives. Instead of enjoying their early steps on their life’s journey,
they are forced to work under conditions of slavery. Child labour persists due to the
inadequacy of law, administrative system and exploitative inclinations on the part of
employers.
Children are employed illegally in various industries.

Rural areas employ 85 percent of the child labour in India. They are forced to work at
young ages due to factors such as poverty, lack of social security, the increasing gap
between the rich and the poor have adversely affected children more than any other
group. We have failed to provide universal education, which results in children dropping
out of school and entering the labour force.

Due to high poverty and poor schooling opportunities, child labour is quite prevalent in
India. Child labour is
found in rural as well as urban areas. They are also employed in other industries such
as mining, tea stalls and restaurants and in homes as domestic labour.

Children often work in dangerously polluted factories. They work for 9 to 10 hours at a
stretch including night shifts. No wonder that a large number of child workers have
sunken chests and thin bone frames which give them a fragile look. They are made to
work in small rooms under inhuman conditions which include unhygienic surroundings.
Most of these children come from extremely poor households. They are either school drop-
outs or those who have not seen any school at all.

The authorities should incorporate a provision for surprise checks and establish a
separate vigilance cell. Employers should compulsorily take steps for the intellectual,
vocational and educational well-being and upliftment of a child worker.

We need policies which try to alleviate poverty and inequality as they can have a
significant and decisive impact on economic conditions and social structures that have a
bearing on child labour. Such initiatives may incorporate agrarian reforms, employment-
generation programs, use of improved technology among the poor, promotion of the
informal sector and creation of cooperatives and social security schemes. Also required
is effective enforcement machinery to punish the violators of laws. Labour-inspection and
related services need to be strengthened. LIFE OF LITTLE ONES IS DESTROYED WHEN
THEY ARE EMPLOYED.
Examiner: thank you. Niyathi ,can you ask pranathi, a question, please?
Niyathi: Q1 In which sectors of the economy does it exist?
Contrary to the focus of public attention on children working in export-oriented
manufacturing, only 5% of children work in the formal export-related economy. The vast
majority (70%) of children who work in developing countries are engaged in agriculture,
fishing, hunting and forestry.
Q2 which state has the most child labour and for what reason
some of the developed states such as Maharashtra and Gujarat, the problem of
rising child labor is more to do with the issue of migration of labor class people from
less developed states.
Examiner: How many children are involved in child labour?
Pranathi: New global estimates for the year 2002 indicate that some 352 million children
work. Of these, 246 million children are involved in child labour for abolition and 187
million of whom are between 5-14 years of age. A staggering 180 million are working in
the worst forms of child labour, with at least 8 million in worst forms such as child
prostitution, forced labour and armed conflict.
Examiner: Thank you, now lets go to the next task. I am going to give you a card which
as information about a problem. Both the candidates choose the same problem task and
they read the problem task in the card.You can start the discussion.
