குறிப்பு சட்டகம்

குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் எனப்படுபவர்கள், ஏன் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் உருவாகின்றனர், சமூக சீர்கேடுகளும் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்களின் உருவாக்கமும், குழந்தைகளது எதிர்காலம் பாதிக்கப்படல்.

• குழந்தை தொழலாளர்கள் அதிகம் காணப்படும் நாடுகள்

ஒரு நாட்டினுடைய எதிர்காலம் அங்கு பிறந்து வளர்கின்ற குழந்தைகளில் தான் தங்கியுள்ளது. அந்த குழந்தைகள் ஆரோக்கியமாகவும் பாதுகாப்பாகவும் அறிவுத்திறனுடன் வளர்வது தான் அந்த நாட்டுக்கு நன்மை அழிப்பதாகும்.

இதனையே அனைவரும் விரும்பி எதிர்பார்க்கின்றனர். ஆனால் பல ஆண்டு கால உலக வரலாற்றை எடுத்துபார்ப்போமாக இருந்தால் குழந்தைகளை சிறுவயதில் அவர்களது சுதந்திரத்தை பறித்து வேலைக்கு அமர்த்தும் செயலானது மிகவும் வேதனையழிப்பதாக உள்ளது.

“ காலை எழுந்தவுடன் படிப்பு பின்பு கனிவு கொடுக்கும் நல்ல பாட்டு மாலை முழுதும் விளையாட்டு என்று வழக்கப்படுத்தி கொள்ளு பாப்பா” என்று பாரதியார் குழந்தைகளின் வாழ்வை நான்கு வரி பாட்டில் பாடிவிடுகின்றார்.

இக்கட்டுரையில் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் என்பது பற்றியும் அவர்களது துன்பியல் நிறைந்த வாழ்க்கை பற்றியும் இக்கட்டுரை நோக்குகிறது.

குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் எனப்படுபவர்கள் சிறுவயதிலேயே அவர்களது உரிமைகள் மறுக்கப்பட்டு வேலைகளில் அமர்த்தப்படும் குழந்தைகளை குறிக்கின்றது.

இவர்கள் உறவுகளின்றி அனாதையாகபட்டோ உரிமைகள் மறுக்கப்பட்டோ கல்வி சுதந்திரம் மறுக்கப்பட்டோ வறுமையின் நிமித்தம் வேலைகளில் அமர்த்தப்படும் சிறுவர்களை குறிக்கின்றது.

“விளையும் பயிரை முளையிலேயே தெரியும்” என்பது போல சிறுபராயத்தில் இவ்வாறு தொழிலாளர்களாக மாற்றப்படும் ஒவ்வொரு குழந்தைகளின் எதிர்காலம் சூனியமாகி விடும்.

ஆகவே இவற்றில் இருந்து குழந்தைகளை பாதுகாக்க வேண்டியது பெற்றோர்கள் மற்றும் பாதுகாவலர்கள் அரசாங்கம் போன்றவற்றின் கடமையாகும்.

உலகமெங்கிலும் பத்து குழந்தைகளுக்கு ஒரு குழந்தை குழந்தை தொழிலாளியாக வஞ்சிக்கப்படுவதாக புள்ளிவிபரங்கள் கூறுகின்றன.

வறுமையின் பெயரினாலும் தாய்,தந்தையர்களை இழந்தமையாலும் போதைக்கு அடிமையான குடும்பங்களில் இருந்தும் அவர்களுடைய பொருளாதார சிக்கல்களை தீர்க்கும் ஆயுதமாக குழந்தைகள் மாற்றப்படுகின்றர்.

பாதுகாப்பற்று அநாதாரவாக விடப்படும் குழந்தைகள் இவ்வாறு இலகுவாக சமூக விரோதிகளால் குழந்தை தொழிலாளியாக மாற்றப்படுகின்றனர்.

இந்தவருடத்தில் மாத்திரம் கொரோனா தொற்றின் காரணமாக கடந்த இருபது வருடங்களில் இல்லாதவகையில் 20 கோடி குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் உருவாகியுள்ளனர்.

ஜ.நா வின் தரவுகளின் படி இந்தியாவில் ஏழு முதல் 17 வயது வரையுள்ள குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்களுடைய எண்ணிக்கை ஒன்றரை கோடியாகும் இந்தியாவில் குழந்தைகள் சனத்தொகையில் 20 சதவீதமான குழந்தைகள் ஆபத்தான வேலைகளில் அமர்த்தப்படுகின்றனர்.

ஒரு சமூகம் கல்வியில் பின் தங்கியதாக இருக்கின்ற போது அங்குள்ள மக்களது பகுத்தறிவும் பழக்கவழக்கங்களும் ஒழுக்க விழுமியங்களும் குறைவாகவே காணப்படுகின்றன.

அங்குள்ளவர்கள் அதிகம் போதைக்கு அடிமையாகவும் காணப்படுவர்.வறுமையை காரணம் காட்டி சட்டவிரோத செயல்களில் ஈடுபடுவார்கள்

இதனால் அவர்கள் தமது குழந்தைகள் பற்றியோ அவர்களது எதிர்காலம் தொடர்பாக அதிகம் அலட்டி கொள்வதில்லை சிறுவர்களை வேலைகளுக்கு அனுப்புவதன் காரணமாக வேலைத்தளங்களில் உள்ள விசமிகளலால் குழந்தைகளையும் தவறான வழியில் இட்டுச் செல்ல இது வழிவகுக்கும்.

ஆக குழந்தைகளை சரியாக வளர்க்க அவர்களது குடும்ப பின்னணி மிக முக்கியமானதாக அமைகின்றது

“பூவோடு சேர்ந்த நாரும் மணக்கும்” என்பது போல் தவறான சூழலில் வளர்கின்ற குழந்தைகள் மிக மோசமாக பாதிக்கப்படுவார்கள் பாடசாலைகளுக்க செல்ல அவர்கள் அனுமதிக்காமையால் அவர்களது கல்வி பறிக்கப்படுகின்றது.

மகிழ்ச்சியான குழந்தை பராயத்தில் அவர்களை கொடுமைப்படுத்துவதனால் உளவியல் ரீதியாக பாதிக்கப்பட்ட மனிதர்களாக அவர்கள் மாற்றபடுவார்கள்.

போதைப்பாவனை பாலியல் கொடுமைகள் என அவர்களது வாழ்வே சீரழிந்துவிடுகின்றது. அவர்களை தவறான வழியில் கொண்டு செல்வதனால் அவர்கள் சட்டவிரோத செயல்களிலும் ஈடுபடுகின்றர்.

இதனால் சிறுவயதிலேயே சிறைக்கும் செல்கின்றனர்.இவ்வாறு அவர்களது வாழ்க்கை வேதனைகளால் நிரம்பியதாய் இருக்கும்.

குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் அதிகம் காணப்படும் நாடுகள்

உலகளவில் அதிகம் வறுமை மிகுந்த நாடுகளே அதிகம் குழந்தைகளை தொழிலில் அமர்த்தும் ஆபத்தான நாடுகளாக இருக்கின்றன.

அந்தவகையில் “எரித்திரியா, சோமாலியா, கொங்கோ, மியன்மார், சூடான், ஆப்கானிஸ்தான், பாகிஸ்தான், சிம்பாவே” போன்ற நாடுகளில் அதிகம் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் அதிகமாக காணப்படுகின்றனர்.

இது போன்ற நாடுகளில் பிறக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு குழந்தைகளும் சபிக்கப்பட்டவர்கள் என்று எண்ண தோன்றுகின்றது.

வாழ்வில் மகிழச்சியான பருவம் என்பது குழந்தை பருவம் தான் இது யாராலும் மறக்க முடியாத பசுமையான நினைவுகளை தந்திருக்கும்.

இந்த குழந்தை பருவம் அனைவருக்கும் மகிழ்வானதாக அமைந்து விடுவதில்லை இந்த குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்களது வாழ்வும் அவ்வாறானதே வலிகள் நிறைந்ததாகும்.

ஒரு நாட்டில் பெற்றோரால் கைவிடப்பட்ட குழந்தைகளை அந்த அரசு பாதுகாக்க வேண்டும்.

அவர்களது உரிமைகள் தேவைகள் நிறைவேற்றப்பட வேண்டும் அப்போது தான் ஒரு வளமான நாட்டின் எதிர்காலம் உருவாகும்.

உண்மையில் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் என்பவர் யார்? ஒரு குழந்தை கூலிக்காக வேலை பார்த்தாலும், குடும்பத்தினருடன் பணிபுரிந்தாலும் அக்குழந்தையின் வளர்ச்சிக்கும், கல்விக்கும் அவ்வேலை இடையூறாக அமைந்தால் அக்குழந்தையை ‘குழந்தை தொழிலாளி’ எனக்கூறலாம். தவிர, குறைந்த கூலிக்கு நீண்டநேரம் உழைப்பது, ஆரோக்கியம், உடல், மன வளர்ச்சிக்கு பாதிக்கும் சூழலில் பணிபுரிவது, சில நேரங்களில் குடும்பத்தை பிரிந்தும், கல்வி, பயிற்சி வாய்ப்புகளை இழப்பதும் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் நிலை என்கிறது உலக தொழிலாளர் அமைப்பு. நம் நாட்டில் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறை பல வடிவங்களில் உள்ளது. நேரடி குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறை ஒரு நிலை என்றால், மறைமுக குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறை ஒரு நிலை. சட்ட நடவடிக்கைகள் மேற்கொள்ள முடியாத இடங்களில் குழந்தைகளை பணியில் அமர்த்தி உடல்நலத்திற்கு தீங்கு விளைவிக்கும் வகையில் வேலை செய்ய வைத்தல் மறைமுக குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறை எனலாம். இக்குழந்தைகள் பெரும்பாலும் பள்ளி செல்லாதவர்கள். குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையில் இன்னொரு நிலை, இடம்பெயர்ந்து வேலை செய்பவர்கள். வேலை வாய்ப்புக்காக கிராமம், நகரங்களில் இருந்து இடம்பெயர்ந்து செல்லும் குடும்பங்கள், தங்கள் குழந்தைகளையும் உடன் அழைத்து செல்கின்றனர். இதில் பல குழந்தைகள் பள்ளி செல்லாமல் பெற்றோர் பார்க்கும் பணிகளை பார்க்கின்றனர். அல்லது வேறு பணிகளில் ஈடுபடுத்தப்படுகின்றனர். இதுவும் ஒருவகை குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் நிலையாகும்.

மூன்றாவது நிலை, மிகவும் கொடூரமான, பரிதாபமான கொத்தடிமை முறை. ஆலை உரிமையாளர்களிடம் பெற்றோர் வாங்கிய கடனுக்கு ஈடாக பெற்றோருடன் குழந்தையும் அதே தொழிலில் ஈடுபடுத்தப்படுகின்றனர். இவர்களை கொத்தடிமை குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் என்கிறார்கள். மற்றொரு நிலை, குடும்பத்தினரால் கைவிடப்பட்ட குழந்தைகள். தவறான வழியில் பிறந்தவர்கள், குடும்பத்தில் ஏற்பட்ட பிரச்னையால் குழந்தைகள் அனாதைகளாக திரியும் நிலை ஏற்படுகிறது. இவர்கள் அனாதை குழந்தைகள். சில நேரங்களில் தவறான வழிகாட்டுதலால் மோசமான பழக்க வழக்கங்களில் ஈடுபடுகின்றனர். இவர்களை சிலர், பணம் ஈட்டும் கருவியாக பயன்படுத்துகின்றனர். இவர்களும் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்களே. கல்விச்சூழல் இல்லை இன்னும் சிலர் 14 வயதிற்குட்பட்ட பெண் குழந்தைகளை வீட்டில் வேலைக்கு வைத்துள்ளனர். இது குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் நிலையில் மோசமானது. இவ்வகையில் குழந்தைகள் சம்பளத்திற்காகவும், குடும்ப பிரச்னைகளை தீர்க்கவும் நேரடியாகவும், மறைமுகமாகவும் வேலை செய்ய கட்டாயப்படுத்தப்படுகின்றனர். குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறைக்கு காரணம் வறுமை. குழந்தைகளை வேலைக்கு அனுப்பும் பெற்றோர், அதனால் குழ்தைகளுக்கு ஏற்படும் உடல், மனம் சார்ந்த கேடுகளை அறியாதவர்களாக உள்ளனர். பள்ளி அருகாமையில் இல்லாததும் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் உருவாக காரணமாகிவிடுகிறது. ஆர்வமூட்டும் கல்விச்சூழல் இல்லாததும் ஒரு காரணம்.இப்படி பல்வேறு காரணங்களால் முட்செடியாக வளர்ந்திருக்கும்குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறை ஒழிக்கப்பட வேண்டாமா? கல்வி, விளையாட்டு, குதுாகலத்திற்குமான இக்குழந்தை பருவத்தில் அவர்கள் தொழிற்சாலைகள், வணிகநிறுவனங்கள் நோக்கி அனுப்பப்படுவது வேதனைக்குரியது.

குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையை முற்றிலுமாக அகற்ற தமிழக அரசு பல்வேறு செயல் திட்டங்களை தீட்டி நடவடிக்கை எடுத்து வந்துள்ளது. தொழிலாளர் துறை சார்பில் இதற்கென மாநில குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் மறுவாழ்வு மற்றும் நலச்சங்கங்கள் உருவாக்கப்பட்டு பணிகள் துரிதமாக நடக்கின்றன. மாவட்டந்தோறும் கலெக்டர் தலைமையில், குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்களை அகற்றும் பணி நடந்து வருகிறது. குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறை ஒழிப்பு சட்டத்தை அமல்படுத்த கலெக்டர் தலைமையில் படைகள் உருவாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. பல்வேறு தொழில்களில் ஈடுபட்ட குழந்தைகள்மீட்கப்பட்டு, தற்போது பள்ளிகளில் படிக்கின்றனர். ஆனாலும் இப்பிரச்னை முற்றிலும் தீர்ந்தபாடில்லை.தொடர் கண்காணிப்புகளை மேற்கொள்ள, சர்வதேச தொழிலாளர் நிறுவனத்தின் நிதியுதவியுடன் அரசு தொழிலாளர் துறை சார்பில் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையை அகற்றிட, கண்காணிப்பு முறையை செயல்படுத்துதல் என்ற செயல் திட்டம் உருவாக்கப்பட்டு பயிற்சி அளிக்கப்பட்டு வருகிறது. ஆனாலும் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையை முற்றிலும் ஒழிக்க முடியாததற்கு காரணம் மக்கள் ஒத்துழைப்பு இல்லை. 1986ல் இயற்றப்பட்ட குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறை ஒழிப்பு சட்டம் அமலுக்கு வந்து 32 ஆண்டுகளாகிவிட்டன. கடைகள் நிறுவனங்கள் சட்டம், உணவு நிறுவனங்கள் சட்டம், உடல் உழைப்பு தொழிலாளர் சட்டம் இவைகளில் இருந்த வயது முரண்பாடுகள் களையப் பட்டுவிட்டன.தொழிற்சாலைகள் சட்டத்தை ஒத்தபிரிவுகளை கொண்ட பொதுச்சட்டம் அமலுக்கு வந்துவிட்டது. தொழிலாளர் துறை அலுவலர்களும், தொழிற்சாலை பாதுகாப்பு மற்றும் சுகாதாரத்துறை அலுவலர்களும் மட்டுமே இச்சட்டத்தின் கீழ் ஆய்வாளர்கள் என்ற நிலைமை மாறி அரசின் அனைத்து துறைகளிலும் உள்ள அலுவலர்களும் ஆய்வாளர்களே என்றசட்டதிருத்தம் மூலமாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டனர். எந்த தொழிலும், குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் பணிபுரிவதை கண்டால், இந்தஆய்வாளர்கள் வழக்கு நடவடிக்கை மேற்கொள்ள முடியும்.

வீட்டு வேலைக்கு அமர்த்துவதும் சட்டப்படி குற்றமாகும். ஆனாலும் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் இல்லாத நாடாக இந்தியாவை அறிவிக்க இயலாத நிலையில் இருக்கிறோம். அதுபோன்ற சூழல் ஏற்பட குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையை அகற்ற மக்கள் இயக்கம் எழுச்சி பெற வேண்டும். ஒருபுறம் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையை ஒழிக்க அரசு பாடுபட வேண்டும். மறுபுறம் சமூக ஆர்வலர்கள், மகளிர் சுயஉதவிக்குழுக்கள் மூலம் மக்களிடையே விழிப்புணர்வை ஏற்படுத்த வேண்டும். குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்கள் தயாரிக்கும் எந்த பொருளையும் நாம் வாங்கக்கூடாது. விற்கவும் அனுமதிக்கக்கூடாது. குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்களை கண்டறிந்து வழக்கு தொடர தொழில்துறை, தொழிற்சாலை துறை முன்வர வேண்டும். 18 வயதிற்குட்பட்டவர்கள் என்பதை மருத்துவ துறை உறுதி செய்ய வேண்டும். உள்ளாட்சிகளில் உரிமம் பெற தொழிற்சாலைகள், நிறுவனங்கள் விண்ணப்பிக்கும் போது, ‘குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் பணி அமர்த்தப்படவில்லை’ என உறுதி அளிக்க வேண்டும். அரசு உயர் அதிகாரிகள் தங்கள் வீடுகளில் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் இல்லை என துறை தலைவர்களுக்கு எழுத்துப்பூர்வமாக உறுதி அளிக்க வேண்டும்.

பள்ளி செல்லா குழந்தைகள், இடைநின்ற குழந்தைகளை கணக்கெடுக்கும் ஆசிரியர்கள், குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் பிரச்னைகளை பெற்றோருக்கு புரியும் வகையில் விழிப்புணர்வு ஏற்படுத்த வேண்டும். குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையில் இருந்து மீட்கப்பட்டவர்களை அரசு விடுதிகளில் வயது வித்தியாசமின்றி தங்க அனுமதிக்க வேண்டும். ஊக்கத்தொகையும் தர வேண்டும். இவ்வாறு அரசின் அனைத்து துறைகளும், ஒரே சிந்தனையுடன் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையை முற்றிலுமாக ஒழிக்க செயல்பட்டால், குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறை ஒழிப்பு என்பது மக்கள் இயக்கமாக மாறும். இன்றைய நாளில் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் முறையை ஒழிக்க சபதம் ஏற்போம்.

Child Labor Essay

குழந்தைப் பருவத்தில் குழந்தைகள் எந்தத் துறையிலும் ஆற்றிய சேவையே குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர். பொறுப்பற்ற பெற்றோர்கள் காரணமாகவோ அல்லது குறைந்த செலவில் முதலீட்டில் அதிக லாபம் ஈட்டுவதற்கு உரிமையாளர்களின் நிர்ப்பந்தத்தின் காரணமாகவோ உயிர்வாழ்வதற்கு தேவையான ஆதாரங்கள் இல்லாததால் இது தானாகவே குழந்தைகளால் செய்யப்படுகிறது. குழந்தைப் பருவம் இல்லாமல் தங்கள் வாழ்க்கையை வாழ வேண்டிய கட்டாயத்தில் உள்ளனர். குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் என்பது நம் நாட்டிலும் வெளிநாடுகளிலும் ஒரு பெரிய பிரச்சினை, இது பற்றி அனைவரும் அறிந்திருக்க வேண்டும்.

தமிழில் குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் பற்றிய சிறு மற்றும் நீண்ட கட்டுரை

கட்டுரை 1 (300 வார்த்தைகள்).

குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் என்பது குழந்தைகளிடமிருந்து எடுக்கப்படும் வேலை, இது எந்தப் பகுதியிலும் அவர்களின் உரிமையாளர்களால் செய்யப்படுகிறது. இது பெற்றோர் அல்லது உரிமையாளர்களால் செய்யப்படும் கட்டாய நடத்தை ஆகும். குழந்தைப் பருவம் என்பது அனைத்து குழந்தைகளின் பிறப்பு உரிமையாகும், இது பெற்றோரின் அன்பிலும் கவனிப்பிலும் அனைவருக்கும் வழங்கப்பட வேண்டும், இந்த சட்டவிரோத செயல் குழந்தைகளை பெரியவர்களாக வாழ நிர்பந்திக்கின்றது. இதன் காரணமாக, குழந்தைகளின் வாழ்க்கையில் சரியான உடல் வளர்ச்சி மற்றும் வளர்ச்சி, மனதின் முறையற்ற வளர்ச்சி, சமூக மற்றும் அறிவுசார் ஆரோக்கியமற்ற பல அத்தியாவசிய விஷயங்கள் பற்றாக்குறை உள்ளது.

இதன் காரணமாக, ஒவ்வொருவரின் வாழ்க்கையிலும் மறக்கமுடியாத மற்றும் மகிழ்ச்சியான தருணங்களான குழந்தைப் பருவத்தின் அழகான தருணங்களிலிருந்து குழந்தைகள் விலகிவிடுகிறார்கள். இது ஒரு குழந்தையின் வழக்கமான பள்ளியில் சேரும் திறனைத் தடுக்கிறது, இது அவர்களை நாட்டின் சமூக ஆபத்தான மற்றும் தீங்கு விளைவிக்கும் குடிமக்களாக ஆக்குகிறது. குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் முறையை முற்றிலுமாக ஒழிக்க பல விதிகள், விதிமுறைகள் வகுத்தாலும், இந்த சட்டவிரோத செயல் நாளுக்கு நாள் அதிகரித்து வருகிறது.

குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் என்பது மனிதகுலத்திற்கு ஒரு குற்றமாகும், இது சமூகத்தின் சாபமாக மாறி வருகிறது, இது நாட்டின் வளர்ச்சிக்கும் வளர்ச்சிக்கும் இடையூறாக பெரிய பிரச்சினையாக உள்ளது. குழந்தைப் பருவம் என்பது வாழ்வின் மறக்க முடியாத தருணம், பிறந்தது முதல் வாழ அனைவருக்கும் உரிமை உண்டு.

குழந்தைகள் தங்கள் நண்பர்களுடன் விளையாடவும், பள்ளிக்குச் செல்லவும், பெற்றோரின் அன்பையும் வளர்ப்பையும் உணரவும், இயற்கையின் அழகை ரசிக்கவும் எல்லா உரிமைகளும் உள்ளன. அதேசமயம் மக்கள் (பெற்றோர், உரிமையாளர்கள்) பற்றிய தவறான புரிதலால் மட்டுமே குழந்தைகள் பெரியவர்களைப் போல வாழ வேண்டிய கட்டாயத்தில் உள்ளனர். வாழ்க்கைக்குத் தேவையான அனைத்து வளங்களையும் பெற அவர்கள் தங்கள் குழந்தைப் பருவத்தை தியாகம் செய்ய வேண்டும்.

பெற்றோர்கள் தங்கள் குழந்தைகளை சிறுவயதிலிருந்தே குடும்பத்தின் மீது பொறுப்பானவர்களாக மாற்ற விரும்புகிறார்கள். தங்கள் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு அன்பும் வளர்ப்பும் தேவை என்பதை அவர்கள் புரிந்து கொள்ளவில்லை, அவர்கள் நன்றாக வளர வழக்கமான பள்ளிக்குச் சென்று நண்பர்களுடன் விளையாட வேண்டும். குழந்தைகளுடன் பணிபுரியும் பெற்றோர்கள் குழந்தைகளை தங்கள் சொத்து என்று நினைத்து, அவர்கள் தங்கள் சொந்த விருப்பப்படி பயன்படுத்துகிறார்கள். உண்மையில், ஒவ்வொரு பெற்றோரும் தங்களுக்கும் நாட்டின் மீது சில பொறுப்புகள் உள்ளன என்பதை புரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும். நாட்டின் எதிர்காலம் பிரகாசமாக இருக்க, தங்கள் குழந்தைகளை எல்லா வகையிலும் ஆரோக்கியமாக மாற்ற வேண்டும்.

பெற்றோர்கள் குடும்பத்தின் பொறுப்பை ஏற்று, குழந்தைகளின் குழந்தைப் பருவத்தை அன்புடனும், நல்ல வளர்ப்புடனும் வாழ வைக்க வேண்டும். வறுமை, பெற்றோர், சமூகம், குறைந்த வருமானம், வேலையின்மை, மோசமான வாழ்க்கை முறை மற்றும் புரிதல், சமூக நீதி, பள்ளிகள் இல்லாமை, பின்தங்கிய நிலை, நாட்டின் வளர்ச்சியை நேரடியாகப் பாதிக்கும் பலனற்ற சட்டங்கள் ஆகியவை உலகெங்கிலும் உள்ள குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர்களுக்கு முக்கிய காரணங்கள். இரு.

5 முதல் 14 வயதுக்குட்பட்ட குழந்தைகள் தங்கள் குழந்தைப் பருவத்திலிருந்தே வழக்கமான வேலையைச் செய்வது குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் எனப்படும். வளரும் நாடுகளில் உள்ள குழந்தைகள் மிகக் குறைந்த பணத்தில் வாழ வேண்டும் என்ற விருப்பத்திற்கு எதிராக நாள் முழுவதும் கடினமாக உழைக்க வேண்டிய கட்டாயத்தில் உள்ளனர். அவர்கள் பள்ளிக்குச் செல்லவும், தங்கள் நண்பர்களுடன் விளையாடவும், மற்ற பணக்காரக் குழந்தைகளைப் போல பெற்றோரின் அன்பையும் வளர்ப்பையும் பெற விரும்புகிறார்கள், ஆனால் துரதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக அவர்கள் தங்கள் ஆசைகள் அனைத்தையும் கழுத்தை நெரிக்க வேண்டும்.

குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் முறை இந்தியாவில் ஒரு பெரிய சமூகப் பிரச்சினையாக மாறி வருகிறது, இது வழக்கமான அடிப்படையில் தீர்க்கப்பட வேண்டும். இது அரசாங்கத்தின் பொறுப்பு மட்டுமல்ல, அனைத்து சமூக அமைப்புகள், உரிமையாளர்கள் மற்றும் பெற்றோர்களாலும் இது கவனிக்கப்பட வேண்டும். இந்த பிரச்சினை அனைவருக்கும் பொதுவானது, இது தனித்தனியாக தீர்க்கப்பட வேண்டும், ஏனெனில் இது யாருடைய குழந்தைக்கும் ஏற்படலாம்.

வளரும் நாடுகளில், மோசமான பள்ளி வாய்ப்புகள், கல்வி குறித்த குறைந்த விழிப்புணர்வு மற்றும் வறுமை காரணமாக குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் விகிதம் மிக அதிகமாக உள்ளது. 5 முதல் 14 வயதுக்குட்பட்ட பெரும்பாலான குழந்தைகள் கிராமப்புறங்களில் பெற்றோர்களால் விவசாயத்தில் ஈடுபட்டுள்ளனர். உலகெங்கிலும் உள்ள அனைத்து வளரும் நாடுகளிலும் குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர்களுக்கு வறுமை மற்றும் பள்ளிகளின் பற்றாக்குறை முக்கிய காரணமாகும்.

குழந்தைப் பருவம் ஒவ்வொருவரின் வாழ்க்கையிலும் மகிழ்ச்சியான மற்றும் மிக முக்கியமான அனுபவமாகக் கருதப்படுகிறது, ஏனெனில் குழந்தைப் பருவம் கற்றுக்கொள்வதற்கு மிகவும் முக்கியமான மற்றும் நட்பான நேரம். பெற்றோரிடமிருந்து சிறப்பு கவனிப்பு, அன்பு மற்றும் வளர்ப்பைப் பெறவும், பள்ளிக்குச் செல்லவும், நண்பர்களுடன் விளையாடவும் மற்றும் பிற மகிழ்ச்சியான தருணங்களை அனுபவிக்கவும் குழந்தைகளுக்கு முழு உரிமை உண்டு. குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் பல விலைமதிப்பற்ற குழந்தைகளின் வாழ்க்கையை தினமும் கெடுத்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. இது ஒரு பெரிய அளவிலான சட்டவிரோதச் செயலாகும், இதற்கு தண்டனை வழங்கப்பட வேண்டும், ஆனால் பயனற்ற விதிகள் மற்றும் ஒழுங்குமுறைகளால், இது நம்மைச் சுற்றி வருகிறது.

சமுதாயத்தில் இருந்து இந்த தீமையை ஒழிக்க வேறு எதுவும் நடக்கவில்லை. குழந்தைகள் மிகவும் இளமையாகவும், அழகாகவும், அப்பாவியாகவும், சிறு வயதிலேயே தங்களுக்கு என்ன நடக்கிறது என்பதை உணர முடியாது. தங்களுக்கு என்ன தவறு மற்றும் சட்டவிரோதமானது என்பதை அவர்களால் புரிந்து கொள்ள முடியவில்லை, மாறாக குழந்தைகள் தங்கள் வேலைக்காக சிறிய வருமானத்தைப் பெறுவதில் மகிழ்ச்சி அடைகிறார்கள். தன்னை அறியாமலேயே தனது சிறிய தினசரி வருமானத்தில் ஆர்வம் காட்டத் தொடங்கி, இதிலிருந்து தனது முழு வாழ்க்கையையும் எதிர்காலத்தையும் நடத்துகிறான்.

பெற்றோர்களின் தவறான புரிதல் மற்றும் ஏழ்மையால் குழந்தைகள் நாட்டின் பலமாக மாறுவதற்குப் பதிலாக நாட்டின் பலவீனத்திற்குக் காரணமாகி வரும் அதேசமயம் குழந்தைகள் தங்கள் நாட்டிற்கு மிக முக்கியமான சொத்தாகப் பாதுகாக்கப்படுகிறார்கள். குழந்தைகளின் நலனுக்காக பொதுநலச் சங்கமும், அரசும் பல விழிப்புணர்வுப் பிரச்சாரங்களை நடத்தி வந்தாலும், வறுமைக் கோட்டிற்குக் கீழே உள்ள பெரும்பாலான குழந்தைகள், குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர்களை அன்றாடம் செய்யும் நிலைக்குத் தள்ளப்படுகின்றனர்.

எந்தவொரு தேசத்திற்கும், குழந்தைகள் ஒரு புதிய பூவின் சக்திவாய்ந்த வாசனை போன்றவர்கள், சிலர் இந்த குழந்தைகளை சட்டவிரோதமாக சிறு தொகைக்கு குழந்தை தொழிலாளர் கிணற்றில் தள்ளி, அதே போல் நாட்டின் எதிர்காலத்தையும் கெடுக்கிறார்கள். இந்த மக்கள் குழந்தைகள் மற்றும் அப்பாவி மக்களின் ஒழுக்கத்துடன் விளையாடுகிறார்கள். குழந்தை தொழிலாளர்களிடம் இருந்து குழந்தைகளை காப்பாற்றுவது நாட்டின் ஒவ்வொரு குடிமகனின் பொறுப்பாகும். இது காலங்காலமாகத் தொடரும் சமூகப் பிரச்சனை, இதை வேரோடு பிடுங்கி எறிய வேண்டும்.

நாடு சுதந்திரம் அடைந்த பிறகு, அதை வேரறுக்க பல விதிகள் மற்றும் ஒழுங்குமுறைகள் உருவாக்கப்பட்டன, ஆனால் எதுவும் பயனுள்ளதாக இல்லை. இது மனரீதியாகவும், உடல் ரீதியாகவும், சமூக ரீதியாகவும், அறிவு ரீதியாகவும் குழந்தைகளின் அப்பாவித்தனத்தை நேரடியாக அழித்து வருகிறது. குழந்தைகள் இயற்கையால் உருவாக்கப்பட்ட ஒரு அழகான கலைப்படைப்பு ஆனால் சில மோசமான சூழ்நிலைகளால், அவர்கள் சரியான வயதை எட்டாமல் கடினமாக உழைக்க வேண்டியிருக்கும் என்பது முற்றிலும் உண்மை இல்லை.

கடுமையான வறுமை மற்றும் மோசமான பள்ளி வாய்ப்புகள் காரணமாக பல வளரும் நாடுகளில் குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் பொதுவானது. வளரும் நாடுகளில் வேலை செய்யும் 5 முதல் 14 வயதுக்குட்பட்ட குழந்தைகளுடன் அதிக குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் விகிதம் இன்னும் 50 சதவீதத்திற்கும் அதிகமாக உள்ளது. விவசாயத் துறையில் குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் விகிதம் அதிகமாக உள்ளது, இது பெரும்பாலும் கிராமப்புற மற்றும் ஒழுங்குபடுத்தப்படாத நகர்ப்புற பொருளாதாரத்தில் காணப்படுகிறது, அங்கு பெரும்பாலான குழந்தைகள் தங்கள் நண்பர்களுடன் விளையாடுவதற்கும் பள்ளிக்கு அனுப்புவதற்கும் பதிலாக அவர்களின் பெற்றோரால் விவசாய வேலைகளில் முதன்மையாக வேலை செய்கின்றனர்.

குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் பிரச்சினை இப்போது சர்வதேசமாக மாறியுள்ளது, ஏனெனில் அது நாட்டின் வளர்ச்சிக்கும் வளர்ச்சிக்கும் பெரும் தடையாக உள்ளது. ஆரோக்கியமான குழந்தைகள் எந்த நாட்டிற்கும் ஒளிமயமான எதிர்காலம் மற்றும் சக்தி, எனவே குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் குழந்தையுடன் சேர்ந்து நாட்டின் எதிர்காலத்தை கேடு, கெடுத்து, நாசமாக்குகிறது.

குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர் என்பது வளரும் நாடுகளில் மிகவும் பொதுவான ஒரு உலகளாவிய பிரச்சனை. பெற்றோர்களோ அல்லது வறுமைக் கோட்டிற்கு கீழ் உள்ளவர்களோ தங்கள் குழந்தைகளின் கல்விச் செலவை தாங்க முடியாமல், வாழ்க்கைக்குத் தேவையான பணத்தைக் கூட சம்பாதிக்க முடியாமல் தவிக்கின்றனர். இதனால், குழந்தைகளை பள்ளிக்கு அனுப்பாமல், கடின உழைப்பில் ஈடுபடுத்துகின்றனர். குழந்தைகளை பள்ளிக்கு அனுப்புவது நேரத்தை வீணடிப்பதாகவும், சிறு வயதிலேயே பணம் சம்பாதிப்பது குடும்பத்திற்கு நல்லது என்றும் நம்புகிறார்கள். குழந்தைத் தொழிலாளர்களால் ஏற்படும் தீமைகள் குறித்து ஏழை, பணக்காரர்களுக்கு விழிப்புணர்வு ஏற்படுத்துவது அவசரத் தேவையாக உள்ளது. அவர்களுக்கு இல்லாத அனைத்து வகையான வளங்களும் வழங்கப்பட வேண்டும். பணக்காரர்கள் ஏழைகளுக்கு உதவ வேண்டும், இதனால் அவர்களின் குழந்தைகள் குழந்தை பருவத்தில் தேவையான அனைத்தையும் பெற முடியும். இதை வேரிலிருந்து களைய, அரசு கடுமையான விதிமுறைகளை வகுக்க வேண்டும்.

Child labor increased among poor in Tamil Nadu: Survey

Chennai: Gomathi (name changed), a resident of a Semmenchery in Chennai, dropped out of school during Covid-19 lockdown and started working as a house maid in Vellore district.

She was rescued by Non-Governmental Organisations and the district administration in September 2020 following information that she was harassed by the house owner.

Gomathi is among hundreds of children forced to work during the pandemic.

According to a survey by the Campaign Against Child Labour (CACL)-Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, child labor has increased by nearly 280 percent among vulnerable communities in the post Covid period in Tamil Nadu.

The study title “Lost Gains – COVID-19 – Reversing the situation of child labor” was conducted in 24 districts by child rights specialists R. Vidyasagar, adviser for CACL and K. Shyamalanachiar, coordinator, CACL.

It shows that the number of working children in Dalit and Tribal communities increased from 231 to 650 compared to the pre-Covid-19 situation.

“There is a big jump in the proportion of working children from 28.2 percent to 79.6 percent because of the impact of Covid-19 and school closure” Vidyasagar said.

The duo interviewed a total of 818 children and among them, 553 children were in school before the pandemic outbreak and 265 were not in school and most of them were working. After the schools were closed, 419 of the 553 children who were in school began working.

Vidyasagar said that while child labor had increased rapidly in North, South and West Zones, it is lower in Central and East Zones. “Nearly 30.8 percent of the children are working in the manufacturing sector, followed by 26.4 percent in the service sector. The other major sectors where children started working are agriculture and home-based cottage industry,” he said.

More than 94 percent of the children had stated that they started working due to the financial crisis in their house and family pressure. “These children are also not attending online classes due to various reasons, including non-conducive atmosphere at home, need to work, lack of smartphone among others,” he explained.

A. Devaneyan, CACL North Zone convener, said that high borrowings during the pandemic had pushed many families into the vicious cycle of poverty. “Hence, many children are forced to work even after the lockdown has been relaxed. There is also a need to find out about the condition of migrant children in the State. There is no data on them. Convergence of child protection mechanism with nodal departments, including education and health, is important to reduce child labor,” he said.

The study has also suggested various measures to address the issue, including minimum guaranteed employment for all, coverage of vulnerable families under social protection schemes, strict enforcement of labor laws among others.

“The village-level child protection committees should be activated. Teachers should check on the children who were studying in their school prior to the pandemic and ensure they come back to school. Rapid survey of vulnerable families should also be done,” said R. Karuppusamy, CACL convener for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

Virgil D’Sami, director of Arunodhaya, who spoke after receiving the copy of the study, said that in the last two decades, child labour had reduced and there was an increased enrolment in schools. “But the pandemic has reversed the gains achieved for children. There is an urgent need to protect the children,” she said.

Tamil Nadu plans scheme to reduce child labour

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government may soon launch a scheme similar to the National Child Labour Programme (NCLP), which was subsumed with Samagara Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) by the Union government, to control increasing cases of child labour and stop students from dropping out of schools.

According to sources, because of the economic hardship caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and lack of institutional support due to merger of NCLP, the dropout rate among children vulnerable to child labour in Tamil Nadu has gone up. According to a random survey conducted by Campaign Against Child Labour (CACL) in March 2021, child labour had increased by 180% in the State compared to 2020.

In Virudhunagar district known for its fireworks units, Rs 14 lakh was collected as fine from offenders for employing child workers since March 2020. The increase in fine, which was twice more than previous years, indicates that more children are being forced to take up jobs, sources said.

Hitherto, under NCLP, rescued child labourers were enrolled in special training centres (STCs) and were later mainstreamed into normal schools. The programme was started to rehabilitate working children in 12 districts of the country in 1988 and expanded to other districts. The rescued children were also given Rs 400 per month stipend to prevent them from joining labour force again.

As per November 2021 data, the NCLP was implemented in 15 districts in TN through 213 STCs. After the programme was subsumed with SSA, the Centre asked State governments to admit the rescued children in nearby schools. At least 724 employees were involved in implementing the programme across Tamil Nadu before the merger.

At a recent meeting of school education and labour department, officials were asked to submit proposals on resuming operation of STCs. “A plan to have one residential special training centre in each of the 15 project districts, which were operational under NCLP, to prevent child labour was also discussed in the meeting,” an official said.

Child right activists said the Centre’s decision to scrap NCLP came as a shock as there was perceptible increase in child labour after the pandemic. The possibility of State launching a similar scheme is a welcome move, they said. While surveys are conducted under SSA to identify students up to the age of 19 years who drop out of school, child labour couldn’t be prevented entirely under the scheme, they said.

“Due to shortage of Block Resource Teacher Educators (BRTEs), inter-district migration and other factors, children who dropped out of school couldn’t be traced. Some school education department officials said there could be nearly one lakh out-of-school children in TN. The State must also increase stipend provided to children under the new scheme to ensure that they are not forced to work again,” said an activist. In Tamil Nadu alone, NCLP has helped mainstream 1.2 lakh children since inception.

“Apart from starting the new programme, areas with a low net enrollment of adolescent children should be identified and focused attention should be provided to these hotspots. Issues such as poor transport and toilets in government schools should also be addressed,” said R Karupasamy of CACL.

More than 700 employees who were associated with NLCP in TN are also hopeful. “The State recently told the Madras HC that employees could expect positive news regarding their livelihood,” said S Alagujothi, secretary, Tamilnadu Desia Kulanthai Tholialar Sirappupalli Asiriar Matrum Uzhiar Sangam.

‘Child labour up 180%’ According to a random survey conducted by Campaign Against Child Labour in March 2021, child labour had increased by 180% in TN compared to the previous year.

Essay on Child Labour for Students and Children

500+ words essay on child labour.

Child labour is a term you might have heard about in news or movies. It refers to a crime where children are forced to work from a very early age. It is like expecting kids to perform responsibilities like working and fending for themselves. There are certain policies which have put restrictions and limitations on children working.

The average age for a child to be appropriate to work is considered fifteen years and more. Children falling below this age limit won’t be allowed to indulge in any type of work forcefully. Why is that so? Because child labour takes away the kids opportunity of having a normal childhood, a proper education , and physical and mental well-being. In some countries, it is illegal but still, it’s a far way from being completely eradicated.

Causes of Child Labour

Child Labour happens due to a number of reasons. While some of the reasons may be common in some countries, there are some reasons which are specific in particular areas and regions. When we look at what is causing child labour, we will be able to fight it better.

Firstly, it happens in countries that have a lot of poverty and unemployment . When the families won’t have enough earning, they put the children of the family to work so they can have enough money to survive. Similarly, if the adults of the family are unemployed, the younger ones have to work in their place.

Moreover, when people do not have access to the education they will ultimately put their children to work. The uneducated only care about a short term result which is why they put children to work so they can survive their present.

Furthermore, the money-saving attitude of various industries is a major cause of child labour. They hire children because they pay them lesser for the same work as an adult. As children work more than adults and also at fewer wages, they prefer children. They can easily influence and manipulate them. They only see their profit and this is why they engage children in factories.

Eradication of Child Labour

If we wish to eradicate child labour, we need to formulate some very effective solutions which will save our children. It will also enhance the future of any country dealing with these social issues . To begin with, one can create a number of unions that solely work to prevent child labour. It should help the children indulging in this work and punishing those who make them do it.

Furthermore, we need to keep the parents in the loop so as to teach them the importance of education. If we make education free and the people aware, we will be able to educate more and more children who won’t have to do child labour. Moreover, making people aware of the harmful consequences of child labour is a must.

In addition, family control measures must also be taken. This will reduce the family’s burden so when you have lesser mouths to feed, the parents will be enough to work for them, instead of the children. In fact, every family must be promised a minimum income by the government to survive.

In short, the government and people must come together. Employment opportunities must be given to people in abundance so they can earn their livelihood instead of putting their kids to work. The children are the future of our country; we cannot expect them to maintain the economic conditions of their families instead of having a normal childhood.

Child Labour – Essay 1

Introduction.

Life of the little ones is destroyed when they work in their childhood. Child labour is a common term that you hear in your everyday life. It is defined as work that deprives a child of his/her childhood and harms their mental and physical wellbeing.

According to ILO, any child below the age of 14 should not be involved in work for remuneration. It is a matter of concern in developing countries, like India, where there is a lack of awareness and education about a child’s health. They neglect the fact that children are the hope of their future.

It is a common practice to employ those children as domestic helper, shopkeeper’s assistants, etc. Child labor in the agriculture sector is common. Of course, it would be great when children could graduate a college and even keep in touch with a writer from  ib extended essay writing service  but, unfortunately, according to the conditions, their parents make them work in the fields instead of studying.

According to them, studying is not beneficial in any way, and their children should help them earn money. Their parents implant this mindset in their children also, and the child also believes the same thing. This mindset hampers the growth opportunity and development of the country.

Causes of Child Labour

The main reason for child labor to prevail in India is poverty. More than half of the country’s population belongs to the poor class. It usually happens when parents cannot afford the studies of their children, so they make them earn from a very tender age. It becomes a need to survive. Because in its absence, they won’t have enough money to have their daily bread.

Lack of Proper Education

Even after years of Independence, the children in our country are deprived of the fundamental right of education. It is a problem in the rural areas where there is no facility of education, and if something is available, it is miles away from their home.

Due to such administrative issues, child labor is so prevalent in India. At times children are forced to opt-out of school and end their studies because of financial problems. The worse affected are low-income families.

The Lure of Cheap Labour

There are shopkeepers, factory owners, and companies who employ these children so that they can pay them less. In this way, they hire labor and make a profit as well. They make these children work more than an adult would do as they can be easily manipulated and influenced, which leads to their exploitation.

Disease or Disability

There are families where the child is a sole earner as either his parents are dead or they are too sick to work. In such a situation, the parents have no other option but to send their child to work and earn the bread for the family. So, the children, instead of going to school, go to factories to work and financially support their family.

Consequences of Child Labour

Poor mental and physical health.

Children are very vulnerable at a young age. It affects their mental and physical health. Some studies show due to these works, children have stunted growth.

They also lose their innocence at an early age. The kind of care and attention a child needs growing up disappears because of the demands made from them.

Sexual Abuse-

There is sexual exploitation of both girls and boys. Some girls end up taking drugs, infected by HIV, STDs sometimes early and unwanted pregnancy. They get into the trap of prostitution or gets raped. In low-income families, girls are sold or married to older men by parents for some money.

No Education-

According to statistics, in developing countries, one-third of the child population fails to complete four years of their education. With the short-term benefits, they miss the educational qualifications and skills, which makes them lead the life of poverty. It is the lack of training that hinders their growth opportunity.

Physical Abuse-

There are various types of physical abuse, which involve cuts, burns, fractures, excessive fears, and nightmares. These consistent injuries leave an everlasting impact on a child’s mind.

To cope up with these fears and pressures, they end up abusing drugs. Ir tends to make them mature faster than usual. Childhood dreams get replaced by bitter realities.

Challenges in Controlling Child labor

Unclear laws-.

Child labor is not uniform. It takes place in many forms and types, depending on the kind of work a child has to do. The laws are vague, which does not help in combating the crime of child labor.

There are no strict guidelines that would protect the children from such horror. It is due to such complexity and no clear instructions that it becomes difficult to save a child from the grip of this crime.

Rehabilitation Problem-

The issue faced by the government and NGOs is that they lack the rehabilitation facility which the child might need. With no proper facilities available, they can fall on the grips of labor again.

For them to have a fresh start, those children need to feel the control of their new lives. These children need proper guidance and counseling to get better and achieve things in life.

Lack of Awareness-

Education will be the key to combat child labor. It is because of the lack of proper education and awareness; the families fall in this trap. There is a need for a proper awareness campaign to educate parents about the pitfalls of child labor.

The importance should be given on giving quality and relevant education. The mindset has to be changed in training young children to stop child labor.

Child labor act as a hindrance to the economic and social development of the country. It has to be resolved to have a better future. People and governments should come together to fight this evil.

Every child has a right to grow and prosper. It is the age of enjoyment and getting proper schooling. The children should not just be a mere means of having economic benefits for their family. It has many ill effects on a child’s mental health.

It leaves an impact which will haunt them all their adult life. So, to free our children from such evil, we need to make every effort to shape the future of children better. One has to create ways to help those kids upskill and support them to make sure the transition happens.

Child Labour – Essay 2

Child labour has been gripping the world at a very fast pace. But in India , this rate is quite alarming. This rate needs to be controlled as soon as possible not only in India but globally.

What is Child Labour?

In a broad sense, child labour simply means employing children illegally at workplaces. This is strictly prohibited under law and those who are caught employing children who have not attained working age will be treated by law.

Image Credit: Source

Though rules and regulations are not strict in India, the day is not far off when we would see our country working towards bringing an Empanelment that work for the rights of children.

Meaning & Definition of Child Labour

The actual definition of child labour can be technically explained as the fearless violation of the child rights act, wherein the act provides protection for the child and safeguards him by providing him with safeguards he is entitled to.

When child rights are not followed properly and the society misuses them to employ them in conditions unfit for their working, it is grossly equivalent to child abuse.

Child abuse and violation of child rights at workplace lead to a scenario that is discussed in the later part of this article.

Children under the age of 17 are strictly prohibited to take part in any kind of economic activity that will provide those wages.

In many cases they may be employed under worst conditions and may not even receive wages. So being part of a work environment, even if it’s for a few hours under the age of 17 is grossly treated as child labour.

Different types of Child Labour

In India, child labour occurs in various forms. Some of the most common types of child labour include bonded child labour , child labour in the mining industries , in manufacturing sectors, in domestic jobs, in fireworks industries and the worst of all, in the trafficking menace.

If we employ a small girl to work as a maid in our house and the girl happens to be under the age of 17, then that is treated as child abuse and we would be booked under Child Labour Act .

We can find many young boys and girls working in the fireworks and perfumed incense stick industries.

These kinds of tasks are easily performed by young boys and girls and they don’t have to be paid too much.

So, cheap labour is a cause of child labour in India.

In the manufacturing sector, children can be easily employed to do not-so-tough jobs like packaging work. These are identified as simple and can be done by small age groups with a little training.

Hence, not very high skills are required to employ children in this category. It works in both ways for the industries.

Firstly, the cost of employing a child would be definitely less compared to employing an adult, secondly, there is no training cost involved in teaching a child how to package things.

In the fireworks industry, particularly in the southern regions of India, there are huge factories employing children to work on fireworks.

Children are employed to coat the fireworks with a chemical substance that is not just harmful for their skin but may be hazardous to their health too.

In case of scented incense sticks, children employed in these types of industries tend to inhale the chemical coated on top of the incense sticks. Long term inhaling of these substances can cause injury to the respiratory system.

The bonded labour system is a banned system, for both adults and children. But in many remote parts of our country, these practices continue to exist and even children are made part of the inhuman practise.

A certain less known fact lies in employing children in cigarette industries. This is not talked about openly in the public since smoking itself is considered injurious to health.

Smoking ads have been banned by the government recently. Due to these strict norms, nobody discusses in the open about children being employed in their industries.

Rolling nicotine rolls and placing a tobacco may seem easy for any child to do, but the detrimental effects on thousands of children is hardly ever thought of.

So, these are some of the types of child labour that we commonly see in India. There are many more depending on the type of industry a particular child is associated with.

Child Labour in India

In India, child labour is a major problem because of the many reasons.

The fact that child labour is easily available and cost-effective puts it at the top most criteria for people to employ children blindly without taking note of their future.

For example, if we go to any suburban hotel in any part of our country, we are sure to spot at least one helper or cleaner being a guy under the age of 17.

Rules are made to prevent child labour acts. But the correct implementation of these rules is far from reality. There is no check in place. There are no officials who would check if these rules are strictly enforced.

So in India, the situation is more likely that rules and laws made are only for purposes of printing on paper and not beyond that.

The correct implementation of these rules would come to light when people start thinking about the children they have employed.

If we take our car to a service centre, we can find a whole lot of boys doing service work for the cars, cleaning them up, checking up the parts of the vehicles, etc.

The cheap labour these small guys are entitled to works as a double whammy for both the employer as well as the working guys. The employer makes a profit by employing small guys at cheap rates.

Guys whose families are stooped in misery and financial breakdowns are forced to go to work for making an earning to run the family.

Poverty and financial imbalances in society are therefore, trouble creators and their effects are seen directly on children.

Child labour laws in India

Some of the rules and acts enforced against carrying out child labour are given below:-

Free and fair education to all citizens of India in the age group of 6 to 14. Education for children in this bracket is declared compulsory too. (This is mentioned in the fundamental rights and directives of state policy.)

Child labour (Prohibition and regulation act) was formed in 1986 to protect children against working in factories under the age group of 14.

Persons found to be employing such children will be imprisoned for 3 months (extendable up to a year) and a fine imposed for INR 20,000.

A national policy on child labour was formulated in the year 1987.

The article 24 of the Indian constitution prohibits child labour in India.

The factories and Mines act also have special provisions to protect the rights of children.

These are just some of the rules and regulations present in India to protect children against child labour.

But the issue is about the effective implementation of these acts and ordinances which has not taken place as yet. If there were strict enforcement, children would not be employed so easily in various work forces.

People do not tend to the rules with fear, they know very well about the lenient nature of these regulations. Hence, approval or disapproval of these entitlements do not come into the picture in most of the cases.

Child Labour – A Big Social Menace in India

India is plagued by many social evils that bring a very bad picture to the nation and people belonging to the country.

Due to a certain section of the population that involves children in such activities, the entire society faces threat from becoming part of illegal activities.

Since long, there have always been cases of child labour thronging the country and have been a very bad impact on the society.

Today, looking at the facts and figures we can still claim that the situation hasn’t improved much in spite of strict enforcement of law and the judicial grounds.

It is high time we look into these aspects with deeper perspectives and set our thinking forces into action.

Child labour is a practice where children engage in economic activities on a full time basis. The practice deprives children of their childhood and is harmful to their physical and mental development.

The constitution of India, in its fundamental rights and Directive principles of state policy prohibits child labour below the age of 14 years. (Source Wikipedia )

Young children are enrolled in many business activities, house hold activities or forced to work in industries, totally ruining their future.

At a time when they should be attending school and play with other children, they are being enrolled in activities that deprive them of the very essence of childhood.

Many colors of child labour

There are countries which are facing worst form of child labour in the form of child slavery.

In such cases, they use children for illicit activities such a drug trafficking, exposing them to much hazardous work that is likely to harm the health, safety and morals of children.

It has been noticed that many industries such as coal mines and others that prepare chemicals like silicon, aluminum etc. employ children to carry out harmful tasks in their work areas.

This turns out to be even worse for the children as they end up suffering non curable disease and contract infections that may sometimes prove fatal also.

Child labour is not just an issue, it’s a social menace, right from the law makers to the normal citizen, everyone is involved in helping this social issue grow from its seeds to a big tree.

It has plagued India since time immemorial when strict enforcement’s were not prevalent.

Today, we find many people openly involving people in child labour activities and being proud of it as they are not afraid of lawmakers and are quite happy about doing so.  

There are several reasons behind the causes of child labour and over population being one of the biggest and major factors.

Other possible causes could be poverty, lack of social security, lack of proper education or no education, no visible alternative measures to make a livelihood.

Worst of all, the high prevalence of low income groups in a developing economy like India where rigid labour laws and numerous strict regulations are rampant make it even easier for the growth of child labour in the organized sector.

Girls are the ones who are the most deprived and underprivileged among all children.

Descriptive reasons for child labour in India

Overpopulation.

The population of India has been growing at an alarming stage and will soon cross China , which is currently holding the top position in terms of most populous country of the world.

In such a scenario where an underprivileged family has a minimum of three to four children, there is not much scope for people to earn well.

Hence, they make their children their own desirable medium to earn daily wages for the family.

It’s a normal scenario that people having more than two children (in fact people are preferring just one kid these days) are facing difficulties in planning for their kids’ education, clothing and jobs.

Children who belong to the poorer sections are forced to help their parents and siblings financially for their livelihood.

In developing countries unemployment is a major problem and on account of this, they cannot afford even the basic of facilities like food, shelter, clothes etc.

Children can be found employed in mines and industries, apart from other skilled areas like artisan jobs, etc. They have to work to make a livelihood out of it and to generate income for their family.

People who belong to the underprivileged sections of society tend to believe that the more number of off springs they produce, the more the working hands they receive to fulfill their daily needs.

In an educated society, the scenario is quite different. People understand the importance of attending school and the primary reason for getting employed in government jobs or in other good firms and MNCs.

On the other, illiterates undermine the value of education and do not realize the importance of going to school and further seek employment in a government job or in other good positions.

To see their children come out in flying colors in the future, they do not have big dreams or aspirations, hence they are limited to their own cringing world.

Early marriage

Being unemployed are one of the major issues in India, one of the major reasons being early marriage and also contributing to the factor of overpopulation.

It is practically impossible to create jobs or offer employment opportunities to all citizens of the country. On account of this, children are forced to help parents for their income and seek out on child labour.

Expensive higher education

For providing quality education , parents have to spend more money to get their children enrolled in good schools.

Today, many children don’t attend school for the sake of education, but rather stay at home losing out on precious time, simply because they cannot afford expensive education and the lack of important degrees and skill sets makes them unskilled in job fronts.

This could also play a major role in increasing child labour cases.

Lack of primary education

The Government of India has provided right to education to every child of India till the child reaches the fifth grade in school.

Government schools offer education at low and affordable rates to make education reach every child, so that child labour can be handled till a certain level and to avoid them in indulging in any economic activities.

But still poor people don’t understand the value of education and make their children working unsafe zones. These factors are depriving them from their basic compulsory education.

Effects of Child Labour

Letting children to get involved in age inappropriate activities leads to many bad influences on the child.

Some children suffer a bad childhood because their parents create a hostile environment for them, some others are unprivileged because they cannot afford good education and a basic livelihood, and some curse their own being as they are handicapped off their very existence by a section of anti-social elements in the country.

A quick peek into some of the damaging effects will provide a better idea:

Loss of quality childhood

Life does not offer a smooth ride at every stage. It is said that childhood is the golden period of one’s life and we cannot afford to get it back whenever we want it back.

Children should be allowed to play with their friends and make their childhood memorable.

Child labour, as a deadly evil, deprives children of a quality childhood as children engage themselves in hazardous work areas like mines and industries for their livelihood and to generate income for their family.

If children start working at such an early age they can in no way enjoy their childhood or have pleasant memories of a good childhood.

Health issues

If young children are forced to work at their tender ages in mines and industries, they are prone to various health issues and hazards, while they won’t even be having stamina to face mental and physical problems.

Working in mines and factories can lead to serious respiratory problems and can become lifelong victims of such dreaded diseases.

If children work in the mines and industries for their livelihood and to help their parents and siblings for generating money, they obviously cannot go to school for their education.

Education can help them to be self dependent and walk on their own feet in the society. Sadly, if we are not educated and are unskilled, we would not be employed by any good hirer and have to lead a life full of struggles.

Indulging in criminal cases / activities

As children remain uneducated they lose out on their sense of what is good and what is bad and many of them naturally tend to indulge in criminal activities.

This is a serious issue and of late, government is taking up strict measures to deal with it.

Many juvenile cases have been reported and are increasing at a very fast rate. It’s the moral responsibility of parents and teachers to take care of their children, guide them properly and monitor them.

Emotional harassment

When children who are not very privileged to be part of a larger civilized society see other children in a better picture playing, making merry and enjoying them, they are filled with thousands of stress creating questions about their existence and economic situation.

They are emotionally disturbed. And these emotionally disturbed children easily get influenced by criminal activities and take to anti-social elements very early in life.

Possible Solutions for Child Labour

Every problem has a possible solution. Yes and even a big menace like child labour can be stopped and prevented in a large country like India. It all depends on changing mindsets and evaluating situations from time to time.

Strict enforcement’s of laws together with rapid action committees to bring about execution of laws will be torch bearers for a better tomorrow and can throw light in the aspect of changing many innocent lives.

Let us now explore some possible solutions here:

Free education

If free education for one and all is made mandatory by the government, then to some extent it helps to check child labour.

This is especially helpful for parents who have very poor financial aids to allow their children to seek education and in the long run, benefit the society at large, especially the impoverished and underprivileged groups.

Mid-day meal schemes can also can be provided to children for their daily food needs. Good educational support creates an independent standing for a person in his community and in the society he belongs to.

If a good awareness is created among citizens for eliminating child labour then it can be stopped to a large extent.

Parents should be aware of the benefits of education and should send their children to school for their formal educational process.

In this way, they can become self dependent and on par with others in the society, landing them in good jobs for their sustenance and livelihood.

To bring about awareness, social campaigns should be created and inform citizens about the problems of child labour and related health issues.

Empowerment to poor people

Children from poor families are most likely to get involved in child labour cases. They are exploited by rich and influential people for managing their household work.

It’s not right on the part of affluent people to bring in helpless people from their communities and involve them in age inappropriate chores.

It goes against laws and if we also take up initiatives to empower them enough, then they cannot be exploited by such persons .

Strict Child Labour law

Indian Government on their part has done a fascinating work in carrying on their mission of eliminating child labour from India.

They have made strict rules such as Factory act and mines act which prohibit any children to work in such hazardous environments.

Plus they have also made rules for free education and mid-day meals in various states of India which has currently garnered an overwhelming response from all sections of society.

Moral education to parents and children

  There is an urgent need for making education mandatory, not only for children but equally for parents to bring in a bigger perspective regarding the upbringing of their children.

They should be well aware of the consequences of child labour and how it can affect their child’s life.

Social Awareness

The citizens, on moral grounds should not rope in younger children less than age of 14 and force them into household activities or other workshop related work.

In fact if anyone sees any person misbehaving with children or forcefully employs them, they should be immediately taken under the action of law and such persons should be immediately reported to the authorities.

Children are god’s most precious gifts to human being. It’s not good to ruin their lives by employing them at inappropriate ages.

We should allow them to enjoy their childhood to the fullest. A well groomed child will become a responsible citizen of the country and will respect others and same will be carried forward to the coming generations.

People should come forward and join hands in removing child labour from India completely. It’s not a single day job but if we all work together towards the cause, then nothing is Impossible.

Let’s hold our hands together and take pride in making our nation child-labour free and take our nation a step forward from developing to a developed stage.

Child Labour Facts & Statistics 

Some of the facts and figures revealed under the latest census are

• Over 27 million children do not attend school in India. Some are school drop outs, some of them do not attend school because their families don’t encourage them, and some of them are forcibly made to seek employment to support families.
• Out of this huge number, around 10 million children spend every day in their lives by being employed in some or the other factory or industry.
• Almost 70% of children employed in child labour activities are in the age group of 5 to 14.
• Almost 20 to 30% of these children are from below poverty line families.
• Almost 43% of the 27 million children are employed as domestic helps in houses.

How to Stop Child Labour

Some of the possible steps that help in creating improved awareness about child labour and its prevention is discussed below:

By educating the public about the ill effects of child labour. Child labour is illegal. This statement should be etched in the minds of people who propose to employ children at their workplaces.

People should not only be told that child labour is illegal, but they should be enlightened about the fine and imprisonment that they attract if they happen to enforce child labour in their companies.

If we really want to stand up against child labour, then we must join hands with an NGO or a social service center that fights for the rights of children.

We must make effective use of child lifelines and if we spot children anywhere being employed for work, we must immediately call up the help center and aid them in rescuing such children.

Child labour quotes 

Children are the most precious gifts from God. We have to nurture them and provide them opportunities to fly with bright colors.

We have to help them shape their future. We must secure their future by giving them good education. Below are some quotes against child labour:

• “Child labour is not just a menace; it is the result of a weakened thought process.”
• “Eradicate child labour else the country may soon see a degradation of rich talent going in for a waste”.
• “Child labour destroys the future of children; the future of the country is at stake due to this”.
• “Employing children for free and cheap labour is equivalent to moral destruction of many innocent lives of the country”.
• “Think of your own children being part of a child labour act, wouldn’t that make you arise and awake to bring about a new change in the society?”

Child Labour slogans

These days there are many public campaigns carried out by various organizations and volunteers to act against child labour.

People come out in the open and are no longer confined to the comfort of their rooms to voice their concerns. They use effective tools of technology to validate their thoughts and act accordingly.

We can see many organizations shouting slogans to make people aware about this deadly menace:

• “Stop Child labour at once, children need better lives.”
• “Why child labour, why not child education?”
• “ Freedom for children illegally involved in child labour”
• “Children need freedom for their development, bonding them under child labour is a crime”.
• “Child rights and child freedom are gifts from god; let us not invade their territories”.

A Case study on child labour

In a particularly interesting case, a small town boy from West Bengal accidentally came into the hands of an agent who used children for easy money making.

He would stealthily catch hold of children or take them away from their parents and cheat them. He would actually steal children and once children are in his clutches, he would harass them and leave them homeless.

He was operating in a big network and his circles were present in south Indian regions.

He grabbed this particular boy named Ranjith who was just 14 years then and took him over from a small town in West Bengal all the way to Kerala. In Kerala, he had connections with a small time gold shopkeeper and handed over this guy to him. Ranjith saw the worst times of his life.

The shopkeeper made him work for almost 14 hours a day. He was left with no food and no sleep for days together.

He was physically and mentally abused at many times. The shop owner brutally hit him if he disagreed to doing his tasks.

He was morally disgraced and the boy entered depression gradually. But, he mustered courage and on the pretext of going out for some other reason, he found a way to escape from the clutches of the shop keeper.

Not familiar with the place in Kerala, he ended up somewhere at Kozhikode. The police at Kozhikode saw this particular guy wandering homeless and planned to rehabilitate him properly.

The personnel acted with concern and took him to a rehabilitation center where he was further referred to a child care center at Calicut.

During his stay at Calicut, the child began to feel better and started improving. With company of other children and friendly staff, he began to open up on his past experiences.

During one of his counseling sessions with an expert in child care, he briefly talked about his abusive master in the form of gold shop owner. He further threw light about the agent operating in circles and how he was nabbed by him.

The personnel at the child care center took up this matter seriously and soon informed the police about it. The police acted swiftly.

They sat out to nab the agent. 3 police personnel forming a group, including a lady sub inspector hatched out a plan to nab the agent.

The agent was found out by police sources and was contacted by the lady sub inspector who told him that she was actually a teacher.

She made the agent believe her that she wanted money. In return for money, she was ready to hand over Ranjith who was under his custody till some time ago.

The tricks of the police had worked. They contacted the agent again and told him the venue from where he could come and collect Ranjith.

The agent gave in. Instead of him, he sent one of his men to the pre-discussed spot. The police personnel, all three of them, arrived at the spot in plain clothes and successfully nabbed the agent’s man.

The agent’s man, upon strict interrogations, revealed his own identity and gave vital clues about the agent’s whereabouts.

Finally, the agent was tracked down and nabbed. Technology also played a major role in tracing the agent and nabbing him. The culprit was given his due punishment and booked under law.

The gold shop owner was also booked under the child labour act and was fined severely.

Thorugh several interrogations, it was finally revealed that around 6 children were trapped by the agent in total and he was part of a bigger network.

The network was traced down and all the six children were freed from their clutches. They were provided proper rehabilitation under the child care center in Calicut.

Ranjith was luckily sent back home and re-united with his family in the small town at West Bengal.

Implications drawn from the case study

Not everybody is as lucky as Ranjith. In most of the cases, children go unnoticed in crimes and become part of bigger networks that deport them to different parts of the world.

They can hardly be traced back or re-united with their families. Many of their identities would be erased and they would be totally blacked out.

In Ranjith’s case, it was the police which played the most crucial role in not just rescuing his life, but also providing a new life to six other children who were part of the trap.

The right attitude towards rescuing children and giving them their due rights provided the right steps in the right direction.

The case had many turning points but the police handled them with their intelligence. We salute such people and applaud them in our society. They are a true asset to the country and its citizens.

We may also come across similar child care centers operating in different parts of the country in various different ways for the welfare of children.

Some of the noteworthy mentions include CRY (Child Rights and YOU), Child line India foundation, Save the Children Foundation , etc.

We should understand that child labour is a problem, not just in developing countries like India but exists in developed countries as well.

The police cannot arrive at every workplace to check if there is existence of child labour. People and their mentalities should change to put an overall end to this issue.

People should be educated; they should be enriched with morals and values to stop this menace. They should be morally made responsible for their own acts and they should be made to own their mistakes.

• 100 Words Essay On Child Labour

Child labour is defined as the employment of children for any type of work that interferes with their physical and mental growth and denies them access to the fundamental educational and recreational needs. A child is generally regarded as old enough to work when they are fifteen years old or older. Children under this age limit are not permitted to engage in any sort of forced employment. Because child labour denies children the chance to experience a normal upbringing, receive a quality education, and appreciate their physical and emotional wellbeing. Although it is prohibited in certain nations, it has still not been totally abolished.

500 words essay on child labour.

Children are preferred for employment in many unorganised small industries because they are less demanding and easier to handle. Sometimes the children's own families force them into child labour because they lack the funds or are unable to provide for them.

These kids frequently live in poor, unsanitary circumstances with little access to school or medical care. These kids are also forced to live in seclusion and aren't permitted to play, engage socially, or make friends. Such a toxic workplace is difficult for kids and frequently contributes to mental illnesses like depression. These kids frequently use drugs and other substances, which worsens their physical and mental health.

Why Is Child Labour Prohibited?

The employment of children in a manner that denies them the chance to enjoy childhood, receive an education, or experience personal growth is known as child labour. There are many strong laws against child labour, and many nations, like India, have standards of imprisonment and fines if a person or organisation is found to be engaging in child labour.

Even while there are rules in place to prevent child labour, we still need to enforce them. Children are compelled to work as children owing to poverty and to help support their families.

Child labourers are either trafficked from their home countries or originate from destitute backgrounds. They are fully at the power of their employers and have no protection.

Causes Of Child Labour

Here are some reasons that lead to child labour:

Poverty | Child labour is a problem that is greatly influenced by poverty. Children in low-income households are viewed as an additional source of income. These kids are expected to help out with their parents' duties when they get older.

Illiteracy | One significant component that fuels this issue is illiteracy. Because they must invest more than they receive in return in the form of wages from their children, the illiterate parents view education as a burden. Children who work as labourers are subjected to unsanitary circumstances, late hours, and other hardships that have an immediate impact on their cognitive development.

Bonded Labour | Unethical businesses like using children as labourers over adults since they can get more work done from them and pay them less per hour. Children are forced to work in this sort of child labour in order to pay off a family loan or obligation. Due to bonded labour, poor children have also been trafficked from rural to urban areas to work as domestic help, in tiny manufacturing houses, or simply to live as street beggars.

How To Protect Children From Child Labour?

Multiple facets of society will be required to support efforts to abolish child labour. The effectiveness of government initiatives and its personnel is limited. Therefore, we ought to come together and channelize our efforts in the right direction to stop child labour. Here are some of the ways to stop child labour–

Notice | Be cautious when eating at a neighbouring restaurant or shopping at a neighbourhood market. Inform local authorities or call CHILDLINE 1098 if you see any children working as child labourers.

Know The Law | The first step in preventing child labour is to understand the constitution's role in child protection. Knowing the laws gives you the knowledge you need to combat the threat and alert those who use child labour.

Educate And Aware | Child labour may be avoided by educating others about its negative impacts, especially business leaders and employers. Discuss with them how child labour affects children's physical and emotional health, and tell them what the laws and punishments are.

Conversation With Parents | If you are aware of a parent in your area who is forcing his or her child to work as a youngster, speak with that parent and explain the dangers that child labour poses to the future of their offspring and highlight how education and skill building may protect their child's future.

Enrolment In Schools | In your community, you may establish a setting that encourages learning for street kids. You may assist disadvantaged youngsters in learning and self-education by raising money to create libraries and community learning centres in your area. Additionally, you may help the parents enrol their kids in school.

A country cannot advance if its children are living in abject poverty. To stop the exploitation and employment of children in certain industries, it is essential to identify these sectors and create the required legislation and laws. This should be society's and the government's shared duty.

Advancing social justice, promoting decent work ILO is a specialized agency of the United Nations

The ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work , adopted in 1998 and amended in 2022, is an expression of commitment by governments, employers' and workers' organizations to uphold basic human values - values that are vital to our social and economic lives. It affirms the obligations and commitments that are inherent in membership of the ILO, namely:

• freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
• the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour;
• the effective abolition of child labour;
• the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation; and
• a safe and healthy working environment.

Read the full text of the Declaration

Follow-up to the Declaration

The commitment is supported by a Follow-up procedure. The aim of the follow-up is to encourage the efforts made by the Members of the Organization to promote the fundamental principles and rights enshrined in the Constitution of the ILO and the Declaration of Philadelphia and reaffirmed in the 1998 Declaration.

This follow-up has two aspects based on existing procedures:

• The Annual follow-up concerning non-ratified fundamental Conventions will entail merely some adaptation of the present modalities of application of article 19, paragraph 5(e), of the Constitution.
• The Global Report on fundamental principles and rights at work that will serve to inform the recurrent discussion at the Conference on the needs of the Members, the ILO action undertaken, and the results achieved in the promotion of the fundamental principles and rights at work.

There is a third way to give effect to the Declaration, the Technical Cooperation Projects which are designed to address identifiable needs in relation to the Declaration and to strengthen local capacities thereby translating principles into practice.

Annual Review under the follow-up to the Declaration

Member States that have not ratified one or more of the fundamental ILO instruments directly relating to the principles and rights stated in the Declaration, including the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 , are asked each year to report on the status of the relevant rights and principles within their borders. The reporting process provides governments and social partners with an opportunity to state what measures have been taken towards achieving respect for the Declaration, as well as to note impediments to ratification of the relevant instruments and areas where assistance may be required.

On the basis of the governments’ annual reports and observations by employers’ and workers’ organizations, the International Labour Office prepares and updates country baselines , which serve as a starting point to evaluate the extent to which the fundamental principles and rights at work are given effect in practice. The baselines also aim at facilitating the governments’ future reporting obligations.
