Abstract
Poorer caste members are more likely to be forced into child labor. In
India, the number of children working is rising. Young people labor in
extremely dangerous situations. A child's normal development—physical,
intellectual, emotional, and moral—is hampered by child labor. When children
are growing, carrying heavy loads or being forced to work long hours in
unnatural positions can permanently deform or disable their bodies. Considering
the scope and complexity of the issue, putting kids to work in any capacity
stunts their development. The goal of legislative provisions is to stop the
threat of child labor. Child labor is a significant component of the labor
force, particularly in developing nations. These children represent the most
marginalized group in society, compelled to enter the workforce at a young age
in order to make meager wages or assist with household chores, often at the
expense of their own personal growth. This article reviews the Indian
constitutional safeguards for children and makes an effort to comprehend the
various forms of child labor in India. The best way to combat child labor is to
implement a number of strategies, such as encouraging kids to enroll in and stay
in school, providing adult learners with opportunities for income generation,
and running concurrent poverty eradication campaigns. In order for every child
to reach their full potential and develop into healthy, contributing adults,
the government must take all necessary steps and provide an environment that is
supportive of their survival, growth, and development.
