Child Labour In India

• Causes of Child Labour:

• In a country like India where over 40 percent of the population is living in conditions of extreme poverty, child labour is a complex issue. Following are some of the causes of child labour.

• First Extreme poverty is the chief cause of child labour. The children either supplement their parents’ income or are the only wage earners in the family.

• Second Child labour is deliberately created by vested interest to get cheap labour.

• Third Low level of parental education is also an important factor in determining the incidence of child labour.

• Fourth A majority of parents prefer to send their children to work rather than to school at the school-going age, primarily on account of their need for a supplementary income.
