Child labour -- India

The third country is India, in India. The children begin working at a young age and tender age. Many children have to work to help their families and some families expect their children to continue working to earn the money, even though they had enough money to afford education for their children. India is the nation with largest number of child labour in the world. Children is in suffering and endure miserable with difficult lives, they are having starvation wages to make only enough to feed themselves and their families. They can't or they do not go to school, more than half of them are unable to go to school to learn any skills. Poverty is the main reason behind this phenomenon. The ruthless poverty forces the parents push their children in all forms of hazardous work condition occupations. The Child labor is the only source of income for destitute families.




Also some children’s' are abandoned by their parents or sold to factory owners because those parent couldn't afford many children’s' in their families. The industries try to maintain competitive positions through low wages and low labor standards. The government in India has all the policies in accordance with the Constitution of India. It had supported the eradication of Child Labor, but although all these policies had exists, the problem of child labor still remains because enforcement, it is the key aspect of lacking efforts in the governments.



The girls in the picture are sisters, they were abandoned by their parents, in the picture, they selling popcorns, but the money they earn, parts of money would gave to the suppliers of corns, so they only have enough money to feed themselves and pay to the supplier of corns. This is a better situation in child labour because the sisters were being to save little money in their pocket.

The little girl in this picture have forced by her parent to work to support their family, she is working as a miner in India at the age of 6.

There is about 90% of child labourer in India, over 44 millions, as millions of child labourers working, varieties of jobs also had increased too. Types of jobs for children’s' in India such as newspaper work, miner, factory worker, salesman, households, and industries…etc. Apparently racism of gender also plays a role in India, female kids usually perform household, industries, agriculture this types of jobs. The male kids had usually perform jobs such as skilled, trained, physical works, which it has a better payments than the female kids. Obviously in India it prefers male kids for working. All these types of jobs had risks mentioned, like newspapers, their risk are jumping on and off the moving trolley cars to sell one newspapers, and the children who work as miner, they are the most dangerous because they might have disease in lung or cancers due to the dirty dusts they breath in. Children working in larger amount of time and work that their body couldn't afford would have lead to other health problems, which it might lead them death because they doesn't have proper medical treatments or didn't have a good care of medical treatment.
