Child Labour

Children are always innocent and they are like the buds of flowers. Playing, singing, learning, eating, clothing and getting love are the inherent rights of every child. When a child is deprived of these facilities and does hard labour for a livelihood that is child labour. They are mainly involved in agriculture, household works, trade, construction works, factories, transportation, collecting waste materials and so on.

The main cause of child labour is poverty. Children are compelled to work to supplement the income of the family. Family disputes and lack of proper affection of their parents also lead children to town and join hard labour. Illiteracy and discrimination of castes are also possible causes of child labour.

Although many national and international agencies are activating their efforts to abolish child labour, it is still increasing in practice. To eliminate child labour, mainly two things: awareness and ample opportunities of employment should be provided to the people.
