among the poorer communities
as they have to work harder in
order to survive.

person (adult or child)
causes another child
physical injury or harm by
hitting, punching, biting,
kicking, or burning.

7. CAUSES IN INDIA
• Poverty and high unemployment.
• Free education is limited forcing children to work at
an early age.
• Over population.
• Urbanization: movement of people from rural areas
to big cities.
• Illiteracy

9. Poverty and High Unemployment
• Poor children and their families
may rely upon child labor in order
to improve their chances of
attaining basic necessities. About
one-fifth of the world’s 6 billion
people live in absolute poverty.
The intensified poverty in parts of
Africa, Asia, and Latin America
causes many children there to
become child laborers. In India,
the parents send the children to
sell petty items so they can have
money to buy food and other basic
amenities. This is due to the high
unemployment in the country
leaving lots of people living below
the minimum cash per capita.

10. Limited Education
• Approximately 125 million
children in the world do
not attend school, limiting
future opportunities for the
children and their
communities. The Global
Campaign for Education
estimates that free, quality
education for all children
would cost ten billion
dollars, the same as 4 days
of global military spending.

11. Over Population
• Most of the Asian and African
countries are overpopulated.
Due to limited resources and
more mouths to feed, Children
are employed in various forms
of work. Over crowding of
people causes the
unemployment to rise, leaving
a lot of people jobless. India is
now one of the most
populated countries in the
world.

12. Urbanization
• The Industrial Revolution
has its own negative side.
Many a time companies and
export industries in the
developing world employ
child workers, particularly in
the garment industry. They
move from the rural areas to
the urban cities

13. Illiteracy
Illiterate parents do not
realize the need for a
proper physical,
emotional and cognitive
development of a child.
As they are uneducated,
they do not realize the
importance of education
for their children. This
chart shows the literacy
flow in india.
