    This document discusses the issue of child labor in India. It states that while child labor is illegal in India, many children continue to be exploited as cheap labor due to difficulties enforcing anti-child labor laws. Children under 14 years old are particularly vulnerable, as they often work long hours in dangerously polluted factories under inhuman conditions. The consequences of child labor include children dropping out of school and suffering physical and mental harm. To address this issue, the government and organizations need to work together to rescue children from exploitative work and support their education instead.

    Unit01: Ethics in business Reading and Writing Child labor

    Not all children in are lucky to enjoy their childhood. Many of them are forced to work
    under inhuman conditions. Though there are laws banning child labor; still children continue to
    be exploited as cheap labor. It is because the authorities are unable to implement the laws meant
    to protect children from being engaged as laborers.
    Child labor results in an early dropping out from school and misery in their phase of
    innocence. It implies lost or deprived childhood that leads to exploitation of children in various
    forms: mental, physical, social, sexual and lead to delinquency later.
    Unfortunately, the actual number of child laborers in India goes un-detected. Children under
    14 years old are forced to work in dangerously polluted factories. They work for 9 to 10 hours at
    a stretch including night shifts. No wonder that a large number of child workers have sunken
    chests and thin bone frames which give them a fragile look. They are made to work in small
    rooms under inhuman conditions which include unhygienic surroundings. Most of these children
    come from extremely poor households. They are either school drop-outs or those who have not
    seen any school at all.
     Government authorities and civil society organizations need to work in tandem to free children
    engaged in labor under abysmal conditions. They need to be rescued from exploitative working
    conditions and supported with adequate education. Above all, there is a need to mobilize public
    opinion with an aim to bring about an effective policy initiative to abolish child labor in all its
    forms and punish companies who use them as laborers.

    demonstrative adjectives (this book, those books), pronouns, synonyms, and antonyms to
    refer back to things already mentioned or to refer forward to things that will be mentioned.
