Child Labour Causes
The causes of child labour in India are quite similar to any other country. Everyone agrees that child labor is a plague but most families know they don’t have much choice: not putting a child to work means there won’t be enough food on the table for everyone.The first and simple reason behind child labour is the poverty in India. The India people can't afford to feed them better.They can't safely invest in their education.
In India the check and balance system is not able to control the poverty , child labouring , crimes , to divide money among the people equally. India has not enough jobs for educated peoples and the people who are rich enough they don't paid to a poor person for their wages. The result is the poor person has no other choice except they put their child too on work. Their children becomes slave of poverty and the cruppt government too.
The second reason is that the firm owners prefer children over adults. Because they can get the work of their demands from child and they have not to paid for their wages completly.
Lack of quality education has also contributed to children dropping out of school and entering the labor force.In India the quality education is also not available . the education of India doesn't help a student to give him financial help and also the study doesn't make the student skillful in any type of work.for the Indian people the education is a business so the education for a poor person is nothing except the increasing their budget of their homes. So they try to avoid study and they focus on earn money just for food.
