As reported by UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund), there has been a 54% increase in child labor in urbanized areas for children between the ages of 5 and 14. In addition, according to a Campaign Against Child Labour study, India has approximately 12,666,377 child labourers total.
Child labor affects millions of children around the globe by depriving them of their childhood, education, and fundamental human rights. Child labor poses risks of physical, emotional, and psychological harm to the children involved.
Child labour, according to the ILO (International Labour Organisation), is a term that refers to the employment of children in any work that deprives them of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful. For the vast majority of children who were in institutional care in the twentieth century, working in the Home was part of daily life. For many people in 'care', this work took the form of demanding physical labour, for no payment, and at the expense of their schooling. Children who were boarded out or placed in foster care were also required to work in private homes
Child labour can result in extreme bodily and mental harm, and even death. It can lead to slavery and economic exploitation. And in nearly every case, it cuts children off from schooling and health care, restricting their fundamental rights.
