A Study on Child Rights with Reference to Child Labour Prohibition Act

Abstract

UNICEF characterizes child labour as, "labour that surpasses a base number of hours, contingent upon the age of a child and on the sort of work. Such labour is viewed as hurtful to the child and ought to in this way be eliminated."From the Western perspective, child labour is by no means worthy regardless and governments, labour establishments, NGOs and organizations should cooperate to take out this horrendous plague, which blocks the most unfortunate nations' improvement.Child labor is an important issue in modern global politics, but it's not as easy to resolve as people may think. Child labor is something that the global community is becoming actively more opposed to. More and more, a childhood is being seen less as a privilege and more of a fundamental human right.Recent statistics estimate that roughly 210 million children between ages 5-14 are currently working nearly full time. That's about 18% of the world's children. Child labor generally involves agricultural or industrial work, often putting young children in very dangerous working conditions. So, child labor is a problem, but what's notable is where these children are living. The aim of the research is to find the awareness level among the public as to child labour and to find the cause of child labour in their opinion and also to find the agreeability among the people on the implementation on the laws of child labour . The researcher has done empirical research on the topic whereby There were a whole of 200 respondents to whom the investigation requests were presented. The results are characterized and the hypothesis has been either shown or changed as any research should be.
