Child poverty and labor remain widespread problems in India. Over 30% of Indians live below the international poverty line according to World Bank data from 2010. Children are often poor because they live with adults who are poor, so understanding child poverty requires understanding adult poverty as well. Child labor persists globally due to factors like poverty, lack of access to education, limited workers' rights, and weak laws against child labor. Child labor violates children's rights and well-being and prevents education.
