1.1. INTRODUCTION
Child labour is now a global concern and as such attracted attention of people in various sectors.
In fact, it is the product of an unequal society. As Vittachi observes, child labour shows up, in
exaggerated form, a labour problem deeply woven into the fabric of an unequal society .The term
child labour refers to the engagement of children in any work that takes away all or most of
their rights as children. right to attend regular school, uninterrupted mental and physical
development. According to UNICEF, Child labour is work that is likely to interfere with a
childs education and development; labour that exceeds a minimum number of hours, labour that
is hazardous; and/or labour performed by a child who is underage according to state legislation.
A child is considered a person under the age of 18 years signifies some activities as the worst
form of labour. It defines, The worst forms of child labour include trafficking, armed conflict,
slavery, debt bondage, sexual exploitation and hazardous work
Estimating the number of children working around the world is a difficult task. This practice of
employing children to perform any sort of harmful and dangerous work is considered
exploitative by many international organizations. A number of human rights and social welfare
organizations have been working hard to reduce the number of child labour around the world.
There are many laws enforced to prohibit child labour. However, these laws do not consider all
work by children as child labour; exceptions include work by child artists, supervised training,
and other certain categories of work performed by children .There are some situations where it is
hard to imagine how an activity could not be harmful to the children i.e. forced prostitution, child
soldiers; but these activities are very rare. Whether an activity is harmful or beneficial for the
children depends on the circumstances of the activity, and ultimately, its impact on the children
and the counterfactual of what the child would be doing in the absence of that work. If a child is
above the minimum labour age, paid fairly and the work does not interfere with their health,
schooling and development, then their participation in work can be beneficial. It can contribute
to the welfare of their family while equipping them with skills and experience that can lead to

them becoming a productive adult member of society .

Child labour is found in every part of the world, particularly in developing countries. According
to the international Labour Organization (ILO) Convention:
