Abstract: Child labour is a pervasive problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries. Africa and Asia together account for over 90 per cent of total child employment. Children work for a variety of reasons, the most important being poverty and the induced pressure upon them to escape from this plight. Working children are the objects of extreme exploitation in terms of toiling for long hours for minimal pay. Their work conditions are especially severe, often not providing the stimulation for proper physical and mental development. However, there are problems with the intuitive solution of immediately abolishing child labour to prevent such abuse. Any plan of abolishment depends on schooling. The state could help by making it worthwhile for a child to attend school, whether by providing students with nutritional supplements or increasing the quality and usefulness of obtaining an education. There must be an economic change in the condition of a struggling family to free a child from the responsibility of working. To support these statements a study has been undertaken. The present investigation focuses on the urban child labour with a sociological perspective covering their profile, their socio demographic characteristics in select categories in Navi Mumbai, the nature, causes and working conditions of their employment and the extent of child abuse in work settings.
