Why do child labor laws still exist today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

child labor laws are important because there is need for the society to protect children against exploitation when they are trying to earn extra income for survival. the International Labor Organization is one of the most primal organization that formulated laws that protected children from exploitation and poor wages by the employees in the turn of the 20th century. The laws are universally acceptable and there is need to ensure that the children also grow up to be responsible citizens who are also healthy. poor working conditions can be detrimental either physically or psychologically to a growing mind. child labour laws set up the limits of acceptable jobs that can be done by children of different ages. Further it can provide an elaborate definition for what constitutes as child abuse and labor in hazardous environments for children in general. It is also important to note that children by right are supposed to be protected from all kinds of abuse and exploitations which can occur in the work place. it is hence a means of empowering children from bad people with cruel intentions. child labor laws also varies with different societal backgrounds and the intensity of the implimentation varies with the governments abilityto finace education and facilities that will assist the citizens to implement the rule in general. compare a case study of child labour laws in India and USA. what makes the idian system fail in protecting its minor citizens from exploitation i the work force?

What are the causes of child labour?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What are the causes and consequences of child labour?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Globally speaking, there is no one single cause of child labor nor any single model adequately explain the complex phenomenon of child labor.

Nevertheless, some of the factors affecting child labor are identified as low income, The practice of indebting a family (part of repaying the debt involves a child becoming an indentured labor to the creditor party), big family size and fertility (household with more children end up providing less education for each child and may need to send children to work to help earn income to meet needs), household structure and migration, difficulty in easy access to qualitative schooling, and demand within a given society for cheap unskilled laborers. However, according to a study the most common cause behind child labor practices in Pakistan remains because of death or illness within adult member of the family.

What did the national child labor committee push?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) fought with the help of Lewis Wikes Hine, a famous photographer, to fight child labor. They sent Hine to many of places who had supported child labor, and Hine would take pictures of how young the kids were and the horrible working conditions. They would take those pictures and make them into flyers hanging them up everywhere for everyone to see. The NCLC and Hine helped people learn the problems of child labor helping them see how wrong it was. With the help Of the NCLC and Hine child labor was soon banished by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional.

What caused child labor in the US?

Asked by Wiki User

Greed and desperation.
During a time when employers could pay workers pennies a day, and children were paid half, and money was so short that people had to have as many wage earners as possible in the family, so they would send their kids to work in the sweat shops. 2 kids working full time was like another paycheck.
