Child labour is a major problem in India, with millions of children under age 14 working in various industries. Poverty is a main driver of child labour, as families struggle to make ends meet and send children to work instead of school. Common jobs for child labourers include selling goods, collecting bottles, shoe polishing, and domestic work like cleaning and dishwashing. Several laws exist to regulate child labour, but enforcement remains a challenge. NGOs work to provide education and development opportunities to help eradicate the practice, focusing on removing children from work and placing them in school. Public involvement in reporting instances of child labour can help authorities better enforce laws and save more children from exploitation.
