child labour is where children are forced to work

2nd AnswerSummary of what is written below: Child Labour is dangerous and unhealthy work done by children ages 4-15 in order to support their families and provide themselves with basic household needs. Which intends to be a common thing in developing countries.

Child labour is work done by children under the age of fifteen. Some children are as young as four years old when they start to work. Often the work is harmful to their health and safety. Many children work in dangerous or unhealthy conditions such as: rug factories, mines, or factories which use dangerous chemicals, fireworks, or matches. Child labourers often work 12 to 15 hours a day and earn as little as a few pennies a day. Close to 250 million children between ages 5 and 14 work with 120 million of them working full-time. Most children labourers work to help support their families. The money they earn is needed to buy food and other basic needs In many countries there are few schools which also makes working the alternative for these kids. Of particular concern are children who are sold to factories by their parents in exchange for a small loan. Children in these situations are often claimed to their work station. Some are branded with the factory name to show that they belong to the factory owner. They may work for years to pay of a small loan of just a much as $40.00.

Child labor basically related to when child below 16 ages work in factories and dangerous place or any other place like as house hold, street etc. that's why they do not get opportunity to read, take nutrition and secure theirs future that called child labor.

According to UNICEF, there are an estimated 158 million children aged 5 to 14 in child labor worldwide, excluding child domestic labor. Child labor in factory work, mining, prostitution, quarrying, agriculture, helping in the parents' business, having one's own small business , or doing odd jobs. Some children work as guides for tourists, they works in restaurant as waiters. Other children are forced to do tedious and repetitive jobs such as: assembling boxes, polishing shoes, stocking a store's products, or cleaning. However, rather than in factories and sweatshops, most child labor in selling many things on the streets, at work in agriculture or hidden away in house.It makes bad effect on his health or theirs future going in darkness.

What are the causes of child labour?

THE CAUSES ARE:International Labour Organisation (ILO) suggests poverty is the greatest single cause behind child labour. For impoverished households, income from a child's work is usually crucial for his or her own survival or for that of the household. Income from working children, even if small, may be between 25 to 40% of these household income. Other scholars such as Harsch on African child labour, and Edmonds and Pavcnik on global child labour have reached the same conclusion.Lack of meaningful alternatives, such as affordable schools and quality education, according to ILO, is another major factor driving children to harmful labour. Children work because they have nothing better to do. Many communities, particularly rural areas where between 60-70% of child labour is prevalent, do not possess adequate school facilities. Even when schools are sometimes available, they are too far away, difficult to reach, unaffordable or the quality of education is so poor that parents wonder if going to school is really worth it.
