    The document discusses child labour, defining a child as under 14 years old. It explains that child labour exploits and harms children by exceeding minimum work hours for their age. It notes the causes of child labour as decreased literacy, increased poverty and unemployment. Statistics show millions of children, especially in Asia and Africa, engaged in hazardous work. India has the second highest number of child labourers after Africa, with over 10 million bonded children working as domestic help. The 1986 Regulation and Prohibition Act prohibits employing children in hazardous processes. The conclusion calls for support to abolish child labour and have children educated instead.
