child labour

In Goa, we see many children opt to work rather than go to school.There are laws which aim to ensure that every student below the age of 14 should go to school but in some cases, its the family members who force their child to work. They force their children to work in various sectors and earn money for their survival. And if in case the child is not willing to work than they even give very harsh punishment to their own child. Such cases mainly we see in the low class families and the poor migrated families. One can found the great amount of children working along the beach side, because in those areas they earn more money than any other place. The International Labour Organization estimates that 215 million children between the age of 5 and 17 currently work under condition that are illegal, hazardous or extremely exploitive. we can see underage children work at all sorts of jobs throughout state as well as in entire world. And thus we can see the gap between the rich and poor rises in the recent decades. Due to these reason poor families put their children in commercial, manufacturing, mining or in many other domestic services. Even some children work in illicit activities like the drug trade and such activities harms children. These types of child labour link to the child trafficking. We can mostly girl child is involved in domestic work and sometimes there they become a victim of physical, emotional,  and even sexual abuse. And today its a major issue we can see all over the world. So, if we want to uproot such dangers than first we should stop sending children in working sector. And instead of that we should send them to school where they can get some knowledge to support their daily life. Educated person can solve any sort of problem in their daily life by knowing what is good and what is bad for them. So basic primary education should receive by every child and by educating our children we can save them from many dangers.

  6. Hmm, the main reason for this may be parents illiteracy.. initially Child tries to follow their parents.. if parents takes the firm decision of educating their child under any circumstances then the rate at which child labor is growing will definitely slow down..
