The document discusses child labour and provides some key facts and statistics. During the Industrial Revolution, children as young as 4 years old worked in factories. Each year about 22,000 people die in work-related accidents. There are estimated to be 2 million child sex workers between the ages of 5-15. On average, a child labourer only earns 15-18 rupees per day. The top industries that employ child labour in India are pan, bidi and cigarette rolling, construction, domestic work, spinning and weaving, brick kilns and tile making. While many are aware of the issue, not enough action is taken to address it. Individual initiative is needed to help rescue children from labour.
