CHILD LABOUR

             CHILD LABOUR

 CAN  CHILD LABOR BE ELIMINATED?

 THOUGH IT IS A DESIRABLE GOAL, THE FACT REMAINS THAT IN THE GIVEN SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS THAT EXISTS IN OUR COUNTRY, IT IS  IMPOSSIBLE TO DO AWAY WITH CHILD LABOR.IT IS EVIDENT THAT EMPLOYERS EXPLOIT CHILDREN BY PAYING THEM MUCH LESS THAN WHAT THEY WOULD PAY IN ADULT . BY THIS THE FUTURE OF THE WORKING CHILDREN IS RUINED, AS THEY ARE NOT EDUCATED FOR A BETTER FUTURE.

BUT WE MUST ALSO CONSIDERS THE POVERTY OF THE FAMILIES WHICH FORCE THE CHILDREN TO WORK.CHILD LABOUR WILL BE EVIDENT AS LONG AS THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS OF THESE FAMILIES IS NOT IMPROVED.

THE DEVELOPMENT COUNTRIES ARE EXERTING PRESSURE ON DEVELOPING COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA TO ELIMINATE CHILD LABOUR. 
THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES MAY STOP IMPORTS OF THOSE GOODS THAT INVOLVE CHILD LABOUR IN THEIR PRODUCTION. IN SOME OF OUR COTTAGE INDUSTRIES LIKE MAKING OF CARPETS,CRACKERS,BRICK MAKING CHILDREN ARE EMPLOYED IN LARGER NUMBERS. THESE MATERIALS WHICH ARE BEING EXPORTED, MAY SOON LOSE THEIR MARKET ABROAD IF THE PRODUCERS OF THESE GOODS CONTINUE WITH CHILD LABOUR.

CHILD LABOUR IS AN EVIL THAT SHOULD BE DONE AWAY WITH AT THE EARLIEST. THE EXISTENCE OF CHILD LABOUR WILL BE A BURDEN ON A COUNTRY AND ITS GROWTH . 

CHILD LABOUR CAN DEFINITELY BE ABOLISHED IF THE LICENCE  OF THE PEOPLE HIRING CHILDREN IS CANCELLED.GOVERNMENTS SHOULD BRING ABOUT PROPER SCHEMES AND WE TOO MUST BE GOOD CITIZENS BY EDUCATING THE UNEDUCATED.

CHILD LABOUR IS SURELY A CURSE.
