Is stopping CHILD LABOR is enough?
Child Labor and exploitation has emerged as one of the biggest problem in INDIA> Government too has put its efforts to STOP it. But what I've noticed is that some or many children live better while doing labor jobs.
Please excuse me, I'm not at all in favor of CHILD LABOR but, it is being seen that

@||aru.chopra|| yes apart from various campaigns and banners every individual has to himself take some initiative, like boycotting the dhabas or restaurants where we see child labour, this will surely create an impact on eliminating child labour.

@||aru.chopra|| strict measures along with accountability will surely help to reduce child labour, for complete eradication of this social evil mass awareness is a must.

It is important to remember that the problem won't disappear by just introducing a ban, rather strict implementation of the measures would help.

I shall repeat again. No point stopping child labor unless it is replaced by child education. And actually i'd prefer child labor only be allowed to children who attend school. i.e. deny it to children who refuse to go to school. this would deny parents to send children to beg instead of going to sc

Thanks for the invite @||Gautam Joshi||.
Well, the term Child labour is an unfortunate chapter in our TEXT BOOK OF INDIA. When I was in my 9th class, I crammed the factors responsible for Child Labour. And one of the point I remember now is that the children are seen as HELPING and EARNING HANDS by

Child labour is a stigma, and every possible step should be taken to remove it.

I've been with development sector for the past 15 years and have been working with children and i'd like to know what exactly the term child labour mean? Yes, if a child is working and earning and yet managing to attend his/her school and able to manage both then whats wrong in doing so? I know many

The basic reason why parents force their children to shun school and work, is their financial conditions, illiteracy.So if some thing is done to remove poverty and increase literacy rates, then this would automatically lead to downfall in child labours.

India continues to host the largest number of child labourers in the world today.
According to the Census 2001, there were 12.7 million economically active children in
the age-group of 5-14 years. The number was 11. 3 million during 1991 (Population
Census) thus showing an increase in the number

Adding more to it, employers should stop hiring children. Those children who are working should be taken out of work, rehabilitated and brought into school.

One of the worst forms of child labor: domestic work, is widespread. Stopping the same may not serve to be a right option rather strict measures should be adopted to put an "END" to it.

The question floated here is that "Is stopping CHILD LABOR is enough?". My simple answer to this is an Emphatic NO. The reason for this answer is that it would prevent earnings for the child's family. When we speak of child labour why do we perceive only the children who are in the streets or in the

Even I too agree with the above comments! Simply making laws is not enough, we also need to implement them!! Also, as narrated by @||Gautam Joshi|| about Bheekhu, I think that it was good that the relevant authorities acted on the situation, but then I feel that the final decision should have rested
