Consequences of Child Labour

  19 June 2025

Child labour refers to underage children who, due to poverty, lack of guardianship, or parental addiction, resort to doing hard, illegal, or informal work (such as scavenging, hawking, and working as dry cleaners). These activities disrupt their normal development, education, and physical/mental health, and often prevent them from attending school. Child labourers are highly vulnerable to emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, and if left unprotected, the cycle of poverty and social harm is reproduced.
