Child Labour Essay Intro
Every work that children do is not considered as
child labour. Certain works like some kinds of
child work that is prevalent among the indigenous
American children, some categories of work like
those by the Amish children, supervised
training, family duties, work by the child
artists and others. Child labour is still
prevalent in the developing countries with poor
schooling opportunities and high poverty. The
highest child labour incidence rates are found in
Sub-Saharan Africa with several nations of the
African continent with over fifty percent of
children in the age group of 5-14 years working.
The biggest employer of child labour is the
worldwide agriculture. In the informal urban
economy and the rural settings, a high majority
of child labour in India is witnessed. The
primary causes of child labour are the lack of
schools and poverty. Between 1960 and 2003, the
incidence of child labour reduced from 25 to 10
according to the World Bank. However, the number
of child labourers remain high around the world.

  • Swamirara
  • Child Labour is not uniform and it takes various
    forms depending on the sex and age of the child,
    whether they work with families or work
    independently and the kind of work that the they
    are made to do.
  • There is no single strategy that can eliminate
    child labour in India due to the complex nature
    of child labour.
  • Combatting the child labour needs a
    co-ordinated action for a longer

period of time which engages the government and
stakeholders. This incorporates the employers, t
rade
various unions,
  • community-based organizations, NGOs, mass media
    and educational institutions.
  • It is extremely important that the mindsets and
    attitudes of the people are changed in allowing
    the children to go to school and employing
    adults instead of children. Children should get
    the chance to socialize, play and learn.
  • Education is the highly successful method for
    eliminating the child labour. This incorporates
    utilising the existing systems to make sure
    child workers return to school, providing
    relevant vocational training, addressing
    violence in schools, enhancing the relevance and
    quality of education and widening the education
    access to schooling.
  • The key international laws that deal with the
    essay on child labour include the UN Convention
    on the Rights of the Child 1989 (CRC) and the
    International Labour Organization (ILO).

UNICEF

  • UNICEF is employing many strategies to eliminate
    the child labour across the globe. Some of them
    are stated below.
  • Reforming the existing legislation.
  • The mobilization of communities and families and
    raising of awareness against the exploitation of
    children.
  • Strengthening the child protection systems, which
    include the implementation of Juvenile Justice
    Act and Integrated Child Protection Scheme.
  • Working towards convergence between the
    departments of the government to rehabilitate
    the existing child labourers and eliminate child
    labour.

Conclusion

Swamirara
  • Almost every nation in the world have made laws
    aimed at and relating to eliminating child
    labour.
  • Most of the nations have signed on and ratified
    the international law which was set with the
    help of International Labour Organisation(ILO).

  • Swamirara
  • The term child labour essay can be misleading
    sometimes when it confuses hazardous work with
    the employment that may be useful to children.
  • If the quality or the curricula of the school do
    not provide the children with right skills for
    the jobs that are available or if children do not
    have the aptitude for schoolwork, school may
    hamper the learning of skills, like agriculture,
    which will become obligatory for the future
    livelihood.
