INTRODUCTION
"As a very rough weather destroy the buds of spring so
does too early an experience of life's hard toil blight the young
promise of a child's faculties, and render any true education
impossible," these words of pope Leo XII indicate the issue of
children being forces to work.
Despite planning, welfare programmes, legislation and
administrative action in the past few decades, a large majority of
children of the age group of 5-14 years continue to remain in
distress and turmoil. Child labourer are exploited, exposed to
hazards work conditions and paid a pittance far their long hours
of work. They are forced to leave schooling, shouldering
responsibilities for beyond their years. On June 17 1999 the
number-states of ILO unanimously voted to adopt convention
182 on the world from of child labour. It was recognised that
ending the commercial exploitation of children must be one of
the mankind's top priorities.
Definition:
There is no universally accepted definition of "Child
Labour". Varying definition of the term is used by International
Organisations,
non-Governmental organisations,
ILO's Survey:
Reliable data on Child workers is virtually non-existent. In
2000, the ILO estimates, 246 million child workers aged 5 and 17
were involved in work that by its nature is hazardous to their
safety, physical or mental health, and moral development.
Moreover, some 8.4 million Children were engaged in so-called
unconditional worst form of child labour, which include forced
and bonded labour, the use of children in armed conflict,
trafficking in children and commercial sexual exploitation. Many
forms of child labour are hidden from the statistician's eyes,
particularly if girls doing domestic work at the cost of their
education are considered; it would push the total still higher.
