ABSTRACT
Child labour is one of the most pressing social problems which the world has been facing. The prevention of child labour is a gigantic task. The most important reason for child labour is poverty. It has to be seen that the tender age of children is not abused and that children are not forced by economic necessity to enter the avocations unsuited to their age or strength and that children should be given opportunities and facilities to develop in a healthy manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity. Childhood is required to be protected against exploitation and against morale and material abandonment.
