The category of population that falls between the

birth and physical maturity is termed as ‘child’.


Child means a person who has not completed his
fourteenth year of age. This section of children are
not at their teens. The children in this age group
are in formative stage physically and mentally. Any
kind of exploitation and oppression on them lead
to child abuse. The working children of this age-
group i.e. between 6-14 years of age are therefore,
dubbed as ‘child labor’. The child labor has
different connotations which are elucidated as
follows.
The term child labor though is used as a
synonym for working child or child worker
but more commonly it is used in a derisive
sense that connotes something which is
scornful, insulting and exploitative in nature.
Thus the child labor is defined as any kind of
work by children which interferes with their
full physical development, their opportunities
for desirable minimum education and their
needed recreation.
In true sense of the term the child labor indicates
the employment of children in gainful occupation
in which they are denied the opportunities of
mental, moral development apart from physical
growth.
The child labor has some striking aspects:
1. The child should be employed in gainful occupation.
2. The work to which he is exposed must affect his
physical development and it must be either injurious or
dangerous to health.
3. It must deny him the opportunities for his
development specially in educational sphere.
4. Any work obtained by the parent from child in their
field of activities for considerable hours at the cost of
child’s recreation is also covered under this notion.
5. The child should be of certain age-group not
completing 14 years of age .
6. It should be of full time or part time occupation
carrying remuneration or reward to augment the
family income or for the material gain of child
himself.
