Abstract

Children are the greatest gift to mankind and Childhood is an essential and impressionable period of human development as it has the potential to the future growth of any community. Children's future external option sets and future individual productive capacities are both diminished when they are forced to work before they are developmentally and physically ready to do so. The undertaken paper is conducted to evaluate the objectives to examine the causes of child labour from the perspective of contemporary theory and data, to evaluate various child labour standards and their policy ramifications and to appraise the scope of the problem, its impact, and the measures taken by governments to address it.Using secondary data and qualitative analysis the paper have found the results that states eliminating child labour is crucial to building a society where everyone is free and treated equally. The world's population is maintained in a sustainable way, and it is crucial that youngsters get a good education. The development of current laws covering child work must also be implemented with the appropriate measures. When it comes to the government's function and the agencies it employs for monitoring, there can be no wriggle space.Further, the enforcement of current laws and the application of appropriate consequences and punishments for violators are also essential. There has to be a comprehensive investigation by law enforcement, aggressive prosecution by lawyers, and judicial backing for all of these efforts. To prove that society does not accept child labour, this scenario demands the entire weight of the law and medical treatment.
