Answer 1

You answered your own question. However, childhood is a 20th century invention. Even in America, until the 30's and 40's, children worked in coal mines. Today, children are "home schooled", but work on family farms. So, how you define child labor is a key element. Child labor in one aspect teaches children skills to survive into adulthood and earn a living. Ironically, education does the same thing. Many children are educated to grade 12, but cannot get a job, but many children who do manual labor are employable as adults. What a vicious circle. It seems that the ideal - a child going to school, coming home, doing homework, then going out to play is a privilege for a very small percentage of the children of the world. In most of the best case scenarios, children go to school, come home to an empty home, do chores, wait for parents to come home, have dinner, maybe do homework then off to bed. So, what is the answer to this dilemma?

Answer 2

its very difficult to abolish child labour. we may keep saying that if we provide education then we can get rid of it. but its not just the child who needs to be educated, its the family & society which needs that education.
for a poor family with many mouths to feed, its better to send out the child to work anywhere, since he comes back with some money for food. the rich exploit the child by keeping them in their homes as house help, because they are cheaper & also one get them to do a lot more work than older people.
along with education, employment needs to be provided for them. its only out of need that child labour still exists & will continue to persist. stronger measures are required to abolish it completely.

Answer 3

So long as there is no restriction and penalty on the parents birth cannot be controlled. Till this is not done child labour also cannot be abolished. It is easy for the politician to make laws but there are not enough people to implement the laws.

Answer 4

Child labour can be decreased or even abolished by providing job/work opportunities to their parents to feed them/family. Poor tender aged children work and earn for their families together with parents; for the bread & clothings. If they go to schools, they will die hungry with families. Paper legislations cannot abolish it unless this problem is understood and attempted to be solved honestly.
