There is an estimate that more than a amount of 200 millions children are working as a child labour all over the globe,there is life has been degraded to the lowest form of imagination.They are forced to work to those places which are dangerously hazardous to a human health.
Child labour has existed to varying extents, through most of history. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many children aged 5–14 from poorer families still worked in Europe, the United States and various colonies of European powers. These children mainly worked in agriculture, home-based assembly operations, factories, mining and in services such as news boys. Some worked night shifts lasting 12 hours. With the rise of household income, availability of schools and passage of child labour laws, the incidence rates of child labour fell.

There's a fun fact we Indians who claim to become a superpower has every 17th working child in the world .It means that out of the total when counted every 17 child will be an Indian.
About 1.4 million child labourers in India in the age group of 7-14 years can’t write their names, analysis of Census data by CRY- Child Rights and You reveals. This means one in three child labourers in the said age group are illiterate.Notably, the Constitution of India prohibits child labour in hazardous industries (but not in non-hazardous industries) as a Fundamental Right under Article 24.UNICEF estimates that India with its larger population, has the highest number of labourers in the world under 14 years of age.
There are many NGOs like Bachpan Bachao Andolan, ChildFund, CARE India, Talaash Association, Child Rights and You, Global march against child labour, RIDE India, Childline etc. have been working to eradicate child labour in India.And as a human bieng we should also try to prevent this
