An Analytical Study on the Impact of Child Labor Legislations in Preventing Child Labor in India

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to have a in-depth analysis of the impact of child labour legislations in preventing child labour in India. When children are made to work when they are too young to work, study, or enjoy their infancy, this is known as child labor. It implies a lost or deprived childhood that results in child exploitation in a variety of ways, including mental, physical, social, and sexual. It is the responsibility of society, nonprofits, and legislators to end the deplorable practice of child labor in India. Not all Indian children are fortunate enough to have a happy childhood. Many of them are compelled to work in deplorable situations where their suffering has no end. Despite the fact that child labor is prohibited by law, children are still used as slaves and cheap labor. The article sheds light on factual and legal scenario of child labour in India, action taken against child labour, conditions of girl child laborers and how it has become a stigma in Indian society.
