Regarding the project entitled:-

" child labour –a vicious cycle "
.
CHILD  Child labour is the practice of
having children engage in
LABOUR economic activity, on part or
full-time basis. The practice
deprives children of their
childhood, and is harmful to
their physical and mental
development. Poverty, lack of
good schools and growth of
informal economy are
considered as the important
causes of child labour in
India.
 In 2011, the national census of India found that the total
number of child labourers, aged [5–14], to be at 10.1 million,
out of the total of 259.64 million children in that age group.
 Reasons of child labour in india
 Poverty: Poverty is certainly the greatest
single force driving children into the
workplace.
 Lack of access to quality education: The
availability and quality of schooling is among
the most important factors.
 Poor access to decent work:Children who
were involved in child labour often lack the
basic educational grounding which would
enable them to acquire skills and to improve
their prospects for a decent adult working life
 Limited understanding of child labour: The
view that work is good for the character-
building and skill development of children.
 Natural disasters & climate change: In rural
areas, farmers who see their crops destroyed
on account of climate changes have no other
choice but to send their children out to work.
 These are some important reasons for child
labour in India.

Web of proverty :

Anees Jung blames the family of the bangle

makers, who are caught in a web of poverty,
burdened by the stigma of the caste in which
they are born and the vicious circle of the
sahukars, the middlemen, the policemen, the
keepers of law, the bureaucrats and the
politicians for the sorry plight of the bangle
makers.
 Consequences of child labour
 Child labour affects the economic welfare of a
country to a great extent. Children who work are
not able to get an education and they are not able
to develop themselves physically, intellectually,
emotionally, and psychologically.
 Children are neither equal to adults nor do they
have the strength that the adults have and so they
are not able to work for longer hours because they
totally become exhausted and this reduces their
physical strength which makes them more prone
to diseases.
 Conclusion
 For India, child labour has long term adverse
effects. The economy of a country will only prosper
when the country will have an educated workforce,
skills, technology and the younger generation will
be a part of human capital in the future.
 If child labour at a huge extent continues then there
will be a trade-off with human capital
accumulation. 70% of child labour is employed in
agriculture because it requires less skilled work
whereas other children are employed in heavy
industries.
