Child Labour : A Curse To Humanity

Child labour is a blot on humanity. Since time unknown it is practiced in our society. Children being yoked to the work depriving them from the childhood come under child labour category. We see children working in household, hotels, shops, even in industries like crackers, match box manufacturing companies. Instead of using their heads for books, children are using their heads for carrying bricks. Instead of enjoying in school, they are engaged in work pool.
Parents due to poverty are helpless and send their children to work. They support the family income. This is a primary cause of child labour practice. Industries employ children due to low wages. Children work more in less wages without complaints.

Childhood otherwise flourished have been crushed. It gives vent to illiteracy, health problems and pre maturity among children.
