extremes during the Industrial Revolution. Children often
worked long hours in dangerous factory conditions for very

them to move in small spaces in factories or mines where
adults couldn’t fit, children were easier to manage and
control and perhaps most importantly,

Findings

income of the parent.
 In regard to child education 95% of children are interested to return go school.
 How can ordinary people help to reduce child labour ?
• Lean about the issue
• Support organisation that are raising awareness
• Provide direct help to individual children
Conclusions

Child labour is a big issue in India. Government made many policies for stopping
the child labour but the problem is that theses policies are not properly
implemented. Most of the peoples in the villages are illiterate government should
implement policies by which they can be make aware of the bad impact of child
labour. Eradication of child labour is not an easy task; preventive strategies are
more sustainable in the long run. One of the major preventive strategies, which
must feature in any national child labour eradication policy, is the role of social
mobilization and community participation. It is vital to ensure that children stay at
home and go to formal government schools rather than leave home to work full
time.
Suggestions

 Increase family income

 Education- that helps children learn skills that will help them earn a living

 Social services- that help children and families survive crises, such as disease or
loss of home and shelter.

 Family control of fertility- so that families are not burdened by children.
