ABSTRACT:
Children in Indian society have always been content less spoken or bandied about. The reasons for the same can be traced back to the socio-artistic background of the country. In the world children are taken as the topmost gift to humanity. Nonage is an important stage of moral development as it holds the implicit to the future of any society. Children who are brought up in a terrain which is helpful to their intellectual, physical and social development will go on to be responsible and productive part of the society. Therefore every society links its future to the present status of its children. Moment child has been defined differently by different agencies as per their view and there's a veritably large gap and contradiction in these delineations. This paper attempts to summarize the different meanings of the word child and also give a brief overview of the magnitude of the issue from an Indian perspective. An attempt has been made to study the impact of forced child labour in our society. In this study the convenient sampling method is used in this study for collecting the samples. Samples are collected based on ease of availability of respondents. The independent variables used in this study are age, gender and occupation of the respondent.
The study reveals that the issue of child labour is largely a pastoral miracle and it has significant gender counteraccusations. This confirms the well-heard review of civic bias in all special drives for backward population, furnishing the advantage to civic centers in terms of structure and force, better enforcement, and better monitoring of weal-policy measures.
