Causes of child labour in the world
In order to solve the child labour problem we need to first of all clear out the causes of child labour.
Child labour generally means work or employement for children (generally under the age of 18) that harms or exploits them physically , mentally, morally, socially etc. Child labour might hinder his education and hence expose him to physical and mental torture.
There are few reason why child has to labour :
* Family cannot afford the upbringing of child and hence obvious choice of survival for the child to learn how to work. (There are various scenarioes here - sometimes the earning member of the family dies or there isn't any kind of earning etc etc.)
* Family is illiterate and doesn't know the value of education. Hence doesn't provide him/her access to studies.
* Uncaring attitude of families - sometimes kids are forced to work for their family business (often part-time) so that he learns the work - but its often seen that the child looses interest in studies due to this.
* Child doesn't study / leaves studies due to personal reason (may be bad tackling by their parents) and hence indulge in work himself/herself.
* Lack of schools or college. (possible in certain villages where access to primary or secondary education isn't there )
* Kidnapped kids (yes this is possible! Althought rare)
* Orphan kids (this is quite unfortunate - the kid has to survive by working as he/she doesn't have any option - since he/she is on his own -- mostly in 3rd world nations)
* Orphan kids (sometimes relatives take responsibility of the kid - but instead of being responsible make them work for their living )
* Extra money - yes sometimes for extra income the child voluntarily works (Eg: as parttime mainly as a paper boy) [Althought its a question of debate as is this child labour or not ]
