Please answer in 100-120 words please.
Solution:-
The chapter highlights how people like Saheb and Mukesh, who live on the fringes of society, are forced to work at an early age due to the deep-struck poverty that their family is stuck in. Child labour is particularly prevalent in third world countries due to the inequality in incomes of the population. A significant portion of the population in these countries does not have access to basic facilities like access to education, health care, a minimum living wage, etc. The deep nexus between bureaucrats, politicians, businessmen, etc. also ensure that these people are unable to get out of the vicious circle of poverty that they are trapped in. They are endlessly trapped in the cycle of poor income and debt. To make ends meet, these families are forced to send their children to work so that they can survive on the additional income that these children bring for their families.
