these are the charts for manufacturing sectors, agriculture and service sector is not included (which made up the rest %). the percentage is quite low comparing to some african countries but bare in mind, india's population age under 14 makes up almost 30% of its entire 1.18 billion population!

the government shoul do something to tackle this problem!

Child labour is an universal problem in Asia.

Even China, which is doing so well, is not free from it!

Excerpt from China Labour Bulletin from Hong Kong.

As China's Economy Grows, So does China's Child Labour Problem




hild labour in China is hardly a new phenomenon. For years, despite official regulations banning the employment of minors (defined by Chinese law as those under sixteen years of age), teenagers and even pre-adolescents from poorer regions of China have been drawn to the rapidly developing southern and coastal areas looking for work. For this army of juvenile labourers, employment is readily available in the workshops and factories (and to a lesser extent related industries, such as food service) that are at the heart of China's economic boom. A recent People's Daily Report cites an investigation undertaken by the government agency in charge of monitoring labour conditions in Shandong province's Jinan City. According to the report, the use of juvenile labour is most prevalent in the following industries: Toy production, textiles, construction, food production, and light mechanical work. Concerning the latter, the report concludes that child labour is particularly in demand because children have smaller hands and eyesight undamaged by years of labour, making them more desirable than adults for certain kinds of work....

A report issued by Human Rights in China (Human Rights in China) in March of this year documented the tragic case of five adolescent girls who appeared to have been poisoned by carbon monoxide smoke from a coal brazier lit in the confines of their cramped factory sleeping quarters. In an attempt to hide culpability for the girl's deaths, the panicked factory manager ordered that the bodies be disposed of immediately; later investigation revealed that two of the girls had likely been buried alive. Even among a Chinese public increasingly used to news of workplace tragedy, the egregiously grim nature of this case sparked outrage and gained widespread media coverage throughout China and abroad. ...

Guangzhou's Southern Metropolis Newspaper did investigating child labour visited a local textile factory and found workers as young as twelve years old working as much as sixteen hours per day, more during peak production season. When the reporter asked to see the young worker's sleeping quarters, they replied that the cramped 200-square meter workshop was it, and that at night they slept on or under their worktables. ....

.....headmaster in Guangdong province's Huizhuo city. This headmaster was found employing students from his school in a private toy factory which he owned (3). According to the report, local labour and commercial officials found thirty-five juveniles between the ages of eight and sixteen working in the "headmaster's" factory......

China Says Abusive Child Labor Ring Is Exposed

When parents view their children as an earning hands in the family, then this kind'a things are bound to happen.
 
Dont shoot the messenger, child labour is a big problem in India. But it is mostly in unorganized sector. Govt is unable to check them as usual.
 
i've seen documentaries where parents sell their kids to sex tourists.

I literally felt angry and sick to my tummy and had these fantasies of wishing i lived around there and how i would hunt these mofos down.
i also was angry and cursing the parents, i would personally put a bullet in my head before i ever let my kids work as slave let a lone sex slaves.

then again i am living in one of the richest country in the world, sitting on leather couch, watching HD tv and my fridge is always full... point being I cant justify on why some parents would treat their children so barbarically, but then again i would probably never reach or even get anywhere close to their level of desperation. when you're hungry and food is your only aim...humans tend to do a lot of crazy things.

hopefully as India and other countries develop so they would be their abilities to help the most helpless and innocents.
 
There are different ways to look at the issue of children being employed.
If they are employed in a family trade or business (esp. in a rural area); its as an "apprentice" i.e. a person learning a trade on the job. The reasons for this range from the fact that there is no formal facility (like a technical school or ITI) to teach what is a skill or art that has been passed down through the generations within a family or a community. If the child is not able to learn within that environment, there is no way that he will get a chance to learn that outside. Then the other fact is that he becomes a gainful contributor to his family's economic condition while providing a labour component that cannot be economically availed of by that tradesman outside his family or community. So the question then arises that should we sit in judgement on a system that has sustained so many marginal tradesmen who have neither the knowledge or wherewithal to pursue any other trade? Another point to remember is that this system, has preserved many traditional skills and trades and craft; which may have disappeared over the years simply due to economic reasons.
I say this on the basis of personal interactions with many traditional craftsmen and artisans over the years; be it a potter, a dhurrie maker, a boat builder, an adivasi dhokra metalworker, a saree weaver, a fisherman and so many others that I've met and spoken with during travels in India. I started off with very strident views on this subject but now am inclined to consider the matter with a more equable perspective. India is not Europe, so some socio-economic ideas just cannot be applied in toto. Of course (as I said at the outset) this applies only where the child works with (or within) the family or community set-up. They are joint stake-holders and beneficiaries of that commerce. Should we prohibit that indiscriminately?

The other situation is one in which the child/juvenile is employed in a commerce/trade which is run by a person unrelated/ unknown/little known to him or his family. This is an activity where the child may be learning some skills/trade and earning some money. However he and his family are negligible stake holders in the entersprise . So he and his family stand to be extremely marginal beneficiaries of that enterprise. Which is a very different situation from the one I outlined earlier. And therefore deserves very close scrutiny by the concerned authorities and necessary action even if it is prohibitive or punitive in nature.
 
rcrmj,

Confucius say no fake chinese!

lol``well done u found i'm fake :rofl: i think thats the only thing u can do to console ur fagile mentality. obviously truth about india is quite hard for some people to digest here```
