Child Labour India

All around the world there are 218 million kids involved in Child labour. Child labour is when kids between the age of 6 - 15 are forced to work in dangerous hazardous places to provide for their families because of lack of money or support. India is the home of the largest number of child labour and majority of the kids that are involved in Child Labour belong to Low Caste. Sometimes children are forced to leave their homes or sometimes the child labour recruiters go to places that are poverty stricken, places where natural disasters occur a lot and the areas which have draught.

India has the largest number of child labour in the world and about 60 million kids are still suffering from child labour in India. There is about 70% of children in India working in fields and farms and the rest are working in construction where they have no protection on their feet or on their heads. This could affect the children if they get seriously hurt or damaged from the heavy materials or  resources. This also affects the kids education because child labour is getting in the way of the kids having a bright future.

Different countries came together and made an International Agreement for India child labour.
It is called 'UNRC' (UN convention on the Rights of the Child)
1. Non discriminatory
2. The best interests of the child
3. Promotes development
4. Children are to have a say

This agreement was made to put a stop to child labour and to keep the kids safe. I think it is good that they are trying to stop child labour because these kids should not suffer from this and they should also have the right to have an education.
