Why should child labour be eliminated and how?

Child labour often forces children into dangerous environments and deprives them of their childhood. These children also lose access to basic education and this restricts them from doing well in life. Often, children are taken advantage of and are exploited by paying them less than basic pay. Harmful work environment leads to health concerns and may even cause a threat to life. Hence, child labour should be eliminated.

Elimination of Child Labour:

Strict laws should be enacted to prohibit the practice of child labour. Any violations must be immediately and promptly penalized. Also, parents of these children must be made aware of the importance of education, so that they stop sending their children to work. The students must also be told about the value of education. The common public should take the initiative and inform to the responsible officials if any child workers are sighted. Police must also keep a constant check on construction sites and other places where child labour is usually prone to happen.
