is child labour a course in our society

Good morning everyone. My objective today is to talk to you about child labour.

Do you know that of every 100 children in the world today, 16 of them are child labourers, 12 of them are in its worst form, and many will never go to school? There are 246 million child labourers in the world today, most are in developing countries. Some of them are as young as 5, 186 million of them Good morning everyone. My objective today is to talk to you about child labour.

Do you know that of every 100 children in the world today, 16 of them are child labourers, 12 of them are in its worst form, and many will never go to school? There are 246 million child labourers in the world today, most are in developing countries. Some of them are as young as 5, 186 million of them are under 15 and 170 million of them are doing hazardous work and operating dangerous tools or machineries. They are working on farms, plantations, mines, or even construction site, breathing in noxious fumes and exposed to harsh chemicals or dangers. Of every 100 children, more than half will never finish school, escape poverty or even have a decent job. Let me begin by clearly explaining the meaning of the term "child labour". Child labour is the employment of children under an age determined by law or custom. This practice is considered exploitative by many countries and international organizations. Child labour was utilized to varying extents through most of history, but entered public dispute with the beginning of universal schooling, with changes in working conditions during industrialization, and with the emergence of the concepts of workers' and children's rights. So, how can we stop child labour? We can solve these problems by improving child labour legislation and laws and also by increasing the quality, relevance and access to education. Many countries have national child labour laws that establish a minimum age for work and regulate working conditions. However legal protection for child labourers is not effective to the kinds of work children are most involved in, such as agriculture and domestic service. In addition, labour laws in many countries do not cover factories employing less than ten people. It is, therefore, important to extend protection so that laws cover the main places where children work. Education is also a key to ending the exploitation of children. If an education system is to attract and retain children, its quality and relevance must be improved as well. Children who attend school are less likely to be involved in hazardous or exploitative work. They are also more likely to break out of cycles of poverty. The main obstacle to achieving universal primary education is only the inability and/or the unwillingness of governments to provide quality educational facilities for poor children in rural areas and in city shantytowns, because evidence from around the world has shown that poor families are willing to make sacrifices to send their children to school when it is economically and physically accessible. In conclusion, child labour should not happen as our greatest "natural resource" is the mind of the children. If child labour continues, the children will not be able to get a good education and our society cannot improve.
So, let's put our hand together to stop child labour.
Thank you.

and plz give me thumbs up.

Child labour is a curse to our society and a crime against humanity. Children work when they are supposed to play or go to school. The sad thing is that they work under hazardous conditions. Though acute poverty is the main cause for child labour throughout the world, everybody – society, parents, government, individuals, low wages, unemployment, poor standard of living, deep social prejudices and backwardness are directly responsible for child labour in India.
The social scenarios, according to the Guru pada Swami Committee on child labour, has changes radically with the advent of industrial iza tion and urbanization. Earlier, the children were employed to agriculture and plantation only, where they were involved in sowing and reaping, harvesting, thirsting etc, besides taking care of the cattle and toddler. But  has employed them in hazardous works like  rolling, fire cracker making, matchbox making, pencil making, bangle making, carpet making etc.

In Bi di industry children with their nimble fingers perform the chore of rolling besides binding and closing the ends. In the cracker industries a large number of children lose their lives lives dues to fire accidents. In match factories children are made to work at frame filling bundles and rolling operation. In pencil industry children are subject to lung disorders and diseases at very early age due to exposure to hazardous slate dusts. In bangle factories, children help in katai, jalia and chunai and there chores are extremely proved to lung diseases. In carper factories, thousands of children not only lose their eye sight but also get physical deformity because of sitting at one posture for long hours.
If children of the poor can be provided education and vocational training and if stipends accompany such training, parents would be under less pressure to send their children to work in hazardous factories. But this require a huge effort and a fresh thinking, which sadly is lacking and the blame for child la bor must be shared by the society and the leaders.
