It is any child that is below the age of adulthood. Adulthood varies from country to country were an child is considered to become an adult. Also there is also a different age where a child can be consider as an adult under legal terms for the purpose of both civil and criminal law which is mental capacity. In the UK a person under the age of 16 is considered a child, until their 16th birthday, although they can in certain circumstances be judged as having the mental capacity of an adult from the age of 12 but are still considered as a child.

In general terms tho, a child in the UK child labour is below the the age of 16.
