90% of child laborers
are rural children. Many migrate to cities and end up begging, prostitution,
domestic helpers, or other odd jobs. It is easy to say “give them education and
not work”, but the question is who will give? How many will benefit? Individuals
and organizations have been helping these children for several decades. Have
they achieved any result? Each day numbers and methods of child labor is
growing.

Nearly 40 - 50% children among working-children are
street children. These children survive by begging, stealing, shoe
polish, street performance, collecting scraps, street selling and other. Some,
particularly girls, get involved into the flesh trade. The majority of children
on the streets in developing countries are rural migrants.  Children migrate
with their parents and as a result of worst economical condition of parents, get
involved into odd jobs. Some percentage comes alone to urban cities due to bad
environment in their own home such percentage is less. Major percentages of such
children get addicted to use of drugs and their main work is scrap collection or
stealing. With girls it is serious issue as rural poor illiterate parents
abandon girl child to end up life in brothel or street prostitution and of them
some escape to streets begging, scrap collection and finally end up as
prostitutes. In developing countries; girl child is considered as disgrace in
poor illiterate orthodox uncivilized families. Nearly half of street beggars and
garbage collectors are girl children. Most such girls are neglected by parents
as are considered burden on them.

why child
goes to work? This situation is most urgent to be taken care!!! Child goes
to work only when parents allow. And why parents seek own child’s support to
sustain home economy? This is what in my opinion Governments need to understand
and bring policies in accordance.

simply
raiding factories with child labor does not solve as parents need their child to
work to run home or child without parents to survive. In this circumstance child
would enter new areas opened and are in boom such as; sex tourism, rag picking,
pick pocketing, begging and more. Law and enforcement to control child labor is
one way good discouraging factories, parents and child too, but is short term
solution. Child labor, trafficking and prostitution are growing not only in
India rather
Eastern Europe, Africa, and other
Asian countries day by day despite all efforts of governments and International
bodies. Number involved in these activities may be much-much more than workers
in factories, presently. Similar cases can see with rural poor women who end up
in prostitution. Why this situation is arises? And why each day number of
prostitutes growing in this world? And all these are in spite of all law and
enforcements.

Child labour working in the factories is really bad but not as
bad as begging, prostitution, street performance. Any child if removed from the
factory without rehabilitation is pushing further to other worst jobs as shown
in the photographs.  So emphasis be given to rural growth and employment
opportunities.
