    Child labor remains a significant problem around the world, including in India. The 2011 census in India found over 10 million children aged 5-14 working, though child labor has declined 64% from 1993-2005 due to increased regulations. However, most child labor, around 85%, occurs in rural areas of India. While India has laws against hazardous child labor since 1986, many children still work in conditions that deprive them of their education and healthy development.

    INTRODUCTION

    ‘Child labor has serious consequences that stay with the individual and with society for far
    longer than the years of childhood. Young workers not only face dangerous working
    conditions, they face long-term physical, intellectual and emotional stress. They face an
    adulthood of unemployment and illiteracy.’

    United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan (1999).

    The 2011 national census of India found the total number of child laborers, aged 5–14, to
    be at 10.1 million ,and the total child population to be 259.64 million in that age group. The
    child labor problem is not unique to India; worldwide, about 217 million children work,
    many fulltime. They do not go to school and have little or no time to play. Many do not
    receive proper nutrition or care. They are denied the chance to be children. More than half
    of them are exposed to the worst forms of child labor such as work in hazardous
    environments, slavery, or other forms of forced labor, illicit activities including drug
    trafficking and prostitution, as well as involvement in armed conflict.

    Child labor refers to the exploitation of children through any form of work that deprives
    children of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and is
    mentally, physically, socially or morally harmful. Such exploitation is prohibited by
    legislation worldwide, although these laws do not consider all work by children as child
    labor; exceptions include work by child artists, family duties, supervised training, and some
    forms of child work practiced by Amish children, as well as by Indigenous children in the
    Americas.

    Due to the increase of regulations and legal restrictions on child labor, there has been a 64
    percent decline in child labor from 1993-2005. Although this is a great decrease in the
    country of India, there is still high numbers of children working in the rural areas of India.
    With 85 percent of the child labor occurring in rural areas and 15 percent occurring
    in urban areas, there are still substantial areas of concern in the country of India.
    India has legislation since 1986 which allows work by children in non-hazardous industry.
    In 2013, the Punjab and Haryana High Court gave a landmark order that directed that there
    shall be a total ban on the employment of children up to the age of 14 years, be it hazardous
    or non-hazardous industries. However, the Court ruled that a child can work with his or her
    family in family based trades/occupations, for the purpose of learning a new
    trade/craftsmanship or vocation.
