Child Labour Law Amendments a back lash on child labour :(



Indian cabinet recently through an amendment ban child labour below the age of 14, with an exception of working in some family businesses, entertainment and sports activities provided it shouldn't affect their health and education . I strongly believe this ban is not going to work because of the existing poverty. Many children are working in pathetic condition because of their poor circumstances.This legislation may also result in future exploitation of children. This will force many children under the age to continue working for their daily bread and the law is in fact diluted here in favour of child labour. Children are more vulnerable to exploitation they will continue to remain as low paid workers and exploited further.
