Enforcing Ban on Child Labour in India A Socio Legal Perspective

Dr. Alaka Mishra

Abstract :

As rough weather will destroys the buds of spring so does too early an experience of lifes hard toil blight the young promise of a child faculties and render any true education impossible. How true these (words of people Leo–XIII) sound in the context of children being forced to work. Enforcement of labour regulations in the formal sector may drive workers to informality because they increase the costs of formal labour. As a result, lower paid formal sector jobs become attractive to some informal workers, inducing them to want to move to the formal sector. Child labour is the one chief source for formal adjustment to the labour market. There is some effort to seed out this evil were made but their effect could at–best be said to minimal. The problem continues to grow and wide spread as an ulcer into society. This is a shame to the mankind and burning issue to our country from decade to decade.
