This document discusses child labour, providing definitions and facts. It notes that 246 million children are child labourers, many working in dangerous conditions in factories, mines, hotels, and on the streets. Poverty is a key driver of child labour in India and other developing nations. While laws exist to protect children, implementation and enforcement remain challenges. Solutions require addressing poverty, increasing access to education, and social awareness campaigns against the practice.
