Abstract

Child labour remains a significant issue in India, with millions of children involved in hazardous occupations that pose severe risks to their physical and mental health, education, and future prospects. This paper provides an overview of the prevalence, causes, and consequences of child labour in India, highlighting the role of poverty, limited access to education, discrimination, cultural beliefs, and globalization. The paper also discusses the challenges and limitations in addressing child labour in India, such as inadequate enforcement of laws and regulations, lack of awareness, and the need for greater collaboration between government, NGOs, and civil society. Drawing on existing literature, the paper argues for a more comprehensive approach that tackles the root causes of child labour in India. Such an approach would require a coordinated effort from various stakeholders to address poverty, improve access to education, promote social and cultural change, and ensure effective enforcement of laws and regulations. The paper concludes by highlighting the urgency of the issue and the need for sustained action to eradicate child labour in India.
