Child labor is one of the most serious issues facing the globe at large, particularly in developing nations like India. Child labor is often required by the parents' financial constraints. The primary cause of child labor is widespread unemployment and underemployment among the adult low strata of the population, which is exacerbated by population increase. Large families with little income and frequently a lack of educational facilities, illiteracy, and parental misunderstanding about the significance of education as well as the effect of labor on their children's health are some of the factors that encourage child labor. However, throughout time, there has been a rise in worldwide awareness of the problem's gravity. In addition, India's constitution commits to the preservation and promotion of welfare concerns above economic reasons. As a result, the Indian government has established a number of committees and commissions, some of which are particularly focused on the issue of child labor and are tasked with providing insights into the problem as well as recommendations for solutions. Government policies on child labor and development must be realistic and comprehensive in today's world.
