Solution
Child labour is the employment of children at regular and sustained labour.
No, the children should not work in any industry because of the following reasons:
- Child labour does more than deprive children of their education and mental and physical development – their childhood is stolen.
- Immature and inexperienced child labourers may be completely unaware of the short and long term risks involved in their work.
- Working long hours, child labourers are often denied a basic school education, normal social interaction, personal development and emotional support from their family.
Poverty is undoubtedly a dominant factor in the use of child labour; families on or below the poverty line force their children into work to supplement their household’s meager income. Eradicating poverty, however, is only the first step on the road to eliminating child labour.
