Shourya Shrivastava: Child Labour Reforms of India

From what I have read about the reforms so far, it is a lot tougher than the previous law that prohibited child labor only in hazardous industries. The new law prohibits employing children under 14 in all industries and also increases the penalty on the abusers.

The two limited exceptions that have raised a lot of controversy in the media is a standard practice in developed nations. The law also makes the punishment primarily on the employer and not on the parents - the earlier law also heavily punished the parents. While in theory punishing parents also make sense, in practice it means that fewer of those cases would be reported.

Sure, there are some child rights activists who demand tougher laws. When even the existing less tough laws are not executed well, how would adding even tougher laws help the situation. Should not those activists focus their energy first on executing the current laws well before asking for even tougher laws?

Child labour is a great issue of India which needs an immediate improvement. Children under the age of 14 are often set to work as workers or else instead of making them learn something to improve their future. This law should be captured and undertook by the Government of India as an instant improvement. People should also improve their thoughts and protest against this. Each one should develop themselves for the development of the country!

We do need to implement tougher laws....... It is still not uncommon to see child abuse in India

If the parents force the child into labour, then they should be punished very badly . Hopefully over the years, Child Abuse in India will get lesser and lesser and eventually fade away....... Fingers Crossed
