12. poverty is the basic reason and driving force that compels these children to work like labours and earn a little money at the end of the day. The bad financial condition up-thrust to the problem of child labour. Mostly poor families have more number of children, so it becomes very difficult for them to survive on the income of only one family member so they make their small children their source of income . 12 poverty 10/6/2022 Darjeeling Public School, Siliguri

13. 10/6/2022 Darjeeling Public School, Siliguri 13 Unemployment Of Elders Another important reason is unemployment which forces the parents to send their children to work places Due to unemployment its become compulsion of parents to make their children to work in factories, shops, even selling items on streets. There are many cases of child labor where a child has to work against the repayment of a loan which was taken by his father.

14. Excess Population In villages there is trend of early marriages and have large number of children. To fulfill the basic needs they compel their children to do work. So they have no other choice but to work and earn a little amount to support their families They consider children as their source of income and they make them to work like pulling carts, repairing machines, work in factories, selling goods etc. 14 10/6/2022 Darjeeling Public School, Siliguri

15. Tradition Of Making Children Learn The Family Skills Children are force to follow the foot prints of their parents. They are trained from their childhood in the profession that the family has been following since ages. So they are unable to get primary education Children are forbidden from doing any other work. Because of this the children of labourers , craftsmen etc start working with their parents at a very young age. 15 10/6/2022 Darjeeling Public School, Siliguri

25. Conclusion The social malady of child labour can be brought under control, if each individual takes responsibility of reporting about anyone employing a child below the age of 14years. Thus, instead of ignoring on should find out about reporting child labour and how such children can actually be saved.  Child labour can be controlled if the government functions effectively with the support of the public. 10/6/2022 25 Darjeeling Public School, Siliguri
