Child labour is a global phenomenon occurring predominantly in countries with lower socioeconomic status and resources. Societal and familial poverty, loss or incapacitation/illness of parents, lack of social security and protection, and ignorance about the value of, or limited access to, education are among the myriad reasons for the involvement of children in the workforce. Child labour is a barrier to the development of individual children and their society and economy. Global estimates indicate that 152 million children (64 million girls and 88 million boys) are working, accounting for almost one in 10 of all children worldwide. Currently the COVID-19 health pandemic and the resulting economic and labour market consequences are having a major impact on people’s lives and livelihoods. Unfortunately, impoverished families and their children are often the first to suffer, which may push many more vulnerable children into child labour situations. Child labour in India is more prevalent than in many other countries, with approximately 10 million children actively engaged in, or seeking, work. This paper focuses on the issue of child labour, its causes and its ill effects. Further, it also reviews the international legal framework relating to child labour and legislative issues in India. There is clearly an urgent need for this issue to be effectively addressed and resolved.

“…The issue of child labour though is centuries old (Cunningham & Viazzo, 1995;Prügl, 1999, 25-31, 50-59); Hindman, 2009); The Health and Morals of Apprentices Act, 1802), the concept is yet vague.

Child Labor is the worldwide social issue. The poor economic and literacy conditions of the parents influences their children to indulge even in hazardous work. Pakistan like other countries is suffering such social problem. In one way or other, the national laws including constitution and international laws as adopted are focusing this issue. These all have paid special attention for the physical and intellectual development of a child in Pakistan. The Constitution has pledged for the prohibition of child labor and free compulsory education for children as fundamental rights. The similar is the essence of children’s welfare related constitutional principles of policy. However all these legal measures due to having certain basic differences in them and certain missing features could not have addressed the child labor properly. Of course, adopting a uniform legislative policy having compatible mode of contents, may possibly be effective in reducing child labor phenomenon in Pakistan.
