THEME-1 CHILD LABOUROTBA Paper for CLASS- VIII (MATHEMATICS)M.M. 10Session 2016-17T.A.-30 MinAbstract:-Child labour is the practice of engaging children in economic activity, on part-time or full-time basis. Contrary to the notion that it is better when all members of a family, irrespective of age, work and earn money, child labour actually makes poverty worse. The more children are forced to work, the fewer opportunities are there for adults to earn a living. By driving down adult wages and depriving children of education, child labour results in poverty passing down from generation to generation. According to the International labourOrganisation (ILO) “Born to parents who themselves were uneducated child workers, many child worker are forced to continue a tradition that leaves them chained to a life of poverty” (ILO, United States Policies to Address Child labourGlobally, 2010). That is why child labour is a very complicated development issue, affecting human society all over the world. Some of the situations in which children are engaged in work: Measuring Child LabourThe census results shows a fluctuating trend in child labour over the years.Source: Population Census, Office of Registrar General of indiaThe occupation wise distribution of children engaged in hazardous occupations as per Census of India 2001 shown below. The major occupations engaging child labour are Pan, Bidi& Cigarettes (21%), Construction (17%), Domestic workers (15%) and Spinning & weaving (11%).Source: Census 2001As per census 2001, Uttar Pradesh (15.22%) recorded the highest share of child labour in the country, followed by Andhra Pradesh (10.76%), Rajasthan (9.97%), Bihar (8.82%), Madhya Pradesh (8.41%), and West Bengal (6.77%).Poverty is a prominent cause for child labour, and the NFHS 3 results also reveal this. One in every 7 children in the lowest and second lowest wealth index category is working. Source: NFHS 3 (2005-06)About 12.1% children from households headed by Hindus are engaged in work, while the corresponding figure for Muslim and Christian are 10.8% and 7.4% respectively. 16.6% children from households headed by a member of a scheduled tribe are engaged in work while the corresponding figure for Scheduled Caste and Other Backward Class 11.6% and 12.2% respectively.

This leads to the creation of an unskilled adult labour force which causes early physical decay, economic insecurity, low quality of life and ultimately high poverty. Thus child labour creates a vicious circle of poverty, unemployment, underemployment and low wages. Over the years the Government of India has multiplied its efforts to address the needs and rights of exploited children. Still, the issue remains grave and demanding more rigorous measures. In order to eliminate the social evil of child labour there is a need for more intensive initiatives to tackle poverty and promote education opportunities to all children to help children and families in crisis.------------------------------------------------------------XXX-----------------------------------------------------------------Sample Questions :-Prepare a Bar graph by taking states on x-axis and % of children on y-axis (Table – 1).
