3 Minute Speech on Child Labour for Students and Children

3 minute speech on child labour.

A very warm welcome to all the teachers and students present in the auditorium. I am here to deliver a speech on child labour. Child labour has been the most important concern in the world because it affects the children both mentally and physically. It also destroys the future of children. The Child labour act, 1986 defines a child as a person who has not completed the age of 14 years. Child labour is the practice of engaging the children in economic activity, on a part or full-time basis. Every child is considered as a gift of god it must be nurtured with care and affection with the family and society but due to the social-economic problems children will be forced to work in industries, leather factories, hotels, and a self-service restaurant.

The child labour is not a small issue in economic problems of society so to eliminate child labour first we should focus on socio-economic issues of the society. India is one of the foremost countries in Asia that has 33 million children employed in various forms of child labour. The constitution of India, too provides certain rights to children and prohibits child labour like no child below the age of 14 years shall be employed in any factory or hazardous work, children are given opportunities and services to grow in a healthily, they will provide free and compulsory educations to all children between the ages 6 to 14 years, etc. There are many causes of child labour i.e. poverty, debts, professional needs, etc.

In developing countries, poverty is one of the major problems and the children were considered as helping hand to feed their families. If they don’t work they will die of poverty and hunger. Because of poverty, illiteracy and unemployment parents are unable to send them to schools. So that the poor parents send their children to work at lower wages. So first we will try to eliminate the poverty of society.

The poor economic condition of people in India forces them to borrow money. The literate seeks debt from money lenders during emergencies later they find difficulty in paying back the debts so debtors drag their children too in support of them so that the debts could be paid off. There are some industries such as the bangle making industries, where they require delicate hands and little fingers. Thus, they require children to work for them and do such dangerous work with glass.

I would like to conclude by saying that the remedy is only in the hands of the government. It needs to take the necessary steps to get rid of poverty by giving employment to the parents of child labourers. It is necessary to educate children. The government should allocate the necessary funds to educate poor children. There are many laws and authoritarian departments for child labour. But, up till now, these are unproductive in controlling ongoing child labour. This is possible only with the support of all the sections of the society and the law enforcement agencies.  The focus should be on controlling the population of the country, education of the children and providing sufficient funds for its removal from the gross domestic product of India.

Giving Voice to Child Laborers Through Monologues

• Resources & Preparation
• Instructional Plan
• Related Resources

Students learn about child labor, as it occurred in England and the United States during the Industrial Revolution and as it continues around the world today. Selected websites describe the conditions under which children worked during the Industrial Revolution. Each student gathers information at these websites and prepares and presents a monologue in the "voice" of someone involved in the debate over child labor in England. After dramatically assuming that person's point of view on the issue, he or she responds to audience members' questions. Students then explore and discuss the conditions of contemporary child laborers and compare them to those of the past.

From Theory to Practice

• Activities in this plan allow students to make personal connections with social issues.
• By preparing cue cards to guide their monologues, students learn to maintain focus on critical facts that reveal their characters' viewpoints.
• Monologues provide the grist for discourse as students defend their characters' views, responding to audience questions with specific information they have gathered.
• Students are engaged in sharing opinions and working with peers to make sense of their world.

Common Core Standards

This resource has been aligned to the Common Core State Standards for states in which they have been adopted. If a state does not appear in the drop-down, CCSS alignments are forthcoming.

State Standards

This lesson has been aligned to standards in the following states. If a state does not appear in the drop-down, standard alignments are not currently available for that state.

NCTE/IRA National Standards for the English Language Arts

• 1. Students read a wide range of print and nonprint texts to build an understanding of texts, of themselves, and of the cultures of the United States and the world; to acquire new information; to respond to the needs and demands of society and the workplace; and for personal fulfillment. Among these texts are fiction and nonfiction, classic and contemporary works.
• 3. Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. They draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word meaning and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).
• 4. Students adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary) to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes.
• 5. Students employ a wide range of strategies as they write and use different writing process elements appropriately to communicate with different audiences for a variety of purposes.
• 7. Students conduct research on issues and interests by generating ideas and questions, and by posing problems. They gather, evaluate, and synthesize data from a variety of sources (e.g., print and nonprint texts, artifacts, people) to communicate their discoveries in ways that suit their purpose and audience.
• 8. Students use a variety of technological and information resources (e.g., libraries, databases, computer networks, video) to gather and synthesize information and to create and communicate knowledge.

Student Objectives

Students will

• Study photographs to gather facts, make inferences, generate questions, and evaluate bias
• Research relevant websites, then demonstrate understanding through the ReQuest strategy
• Write substantive comments about, and reactions to, observed injustices both past and present
• Gather, sort, and synthesize information in the process of preparing a monologue script, including taking effective notes to serve as a guide in presentations and for answering questions
• Deliver convincing monologues, assuming the viewpoints of their characters and responding thoughtfully to questions
• Compare child labor conditions during the Industrial Revolution with those that exist today using a graphic organizer

Give students time to rehearse their monologues within small groups. Students should improve their scripts and cue cards as necessary to make adjustments suggested by classmates. On scheduled dates, have students present their monologues in class. Try to group the presenters so that at least one person from each category of characters is represented. Videotape the performances and allow classmates to sign out the tape to view their peers' performances.

Bring the class together to discuss what they have learned using the Venn Diagram . Begin by having students brainstorm facts they have learned about child labor, past and present. Have the students determine whether each idea relates only to child workers of the Industrial Revolution, only to contemporary child laborers, or to both. Project the Venn diagram onto the screen and complete it as a class. Print it when you are finished and distribute copies to students.

Extension activities can be done in the Language Arts, Social Studies, or Independent Work Time block. Previous lessons have prepared students to work with relative independence on the following activities.

• Have students work together (with partners, in triads, or small groups) to construct a PowerPoint presentation or bulletin board that reveals current child labor abuses and suggests ways to correct them. Students can deliver PowerPoint presentations to other classes; a bulletin board could be displayed in the school or in a community building (e.g., library, city hall). A scoring rubric for PowerPoint presentation or bulletin board is available.
• Have students construct a poem following directions found at Work, Lyddie! Work! (Scroll to directions for "The Life of a Mill Girl Poem or Song." Poems can also be adapted as "The Life of a Mill Boy.")

Lesson Plan Child Labor in America

Children have always worked, often exploited and under less than healthy conditions. Industrialization, the Great Depression and the vast influx of poor immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, made it easy to justify the work of young children. To gain a true understanding of child labor, both as an historical and social issue, students should examine the worlds of real working children. This unit asks students to critically examine, respond to and report on photographs as historical evidence. Students will discover the work of reformer/photographer Lewis Hine, whose photographs give the issue of child labor a dramatic personal relevance and illustrate the impact of photojournalism in the course of American history.

Students will:

• develop an understanding of the importance of historical inquiry;
• recognize the factors which contributed to the Industrial Revolution in the United States;
• evaluate primary source materials as artifacts for greater understanding of the past;
• function as historians by formulating their own questions from encounters with primary source documents and images;
• identify the problems confronted by people in the past, analyze how decisions for action were made and propose alternative solutions;
• understand that political, economic, and social history are connected; and
• recognize the impact of citizen action on public policy.

Time Required

Two to three weeks

Lesson Procedure

In order to establish background, students will be introduced to the causes and effects of the Industrial Revolution. Students will then critically analyze primary source materials with the help of organizers and teacher-guided questions, developing additional questions to support their own inquiry. Students will then react to their encounter with these materials by selecting among a menu of projects, with each student assuming the role of an early 20th century journalist.

Activity One: Introduction and Background (1 - 2 class periods)

• Discuss or review the causes and effects of the Industrial Revolution. This can be done using a variety of methods depending on your time needs. An encyclopedia or textbook section would offer basic introduction. Consider the possibility of class field trips to a local museum or role play to highlight the effects of industrialization.

Activity Two: Primary Source Analysis - Documents (1 - 2 class periods)

• Start with an open-ended question such as "How do we discover our history? How do we learn about our family's past?" Discuss the role of oral or written histories. Read definitions of primary and secondary sources in  Using Primary Sources  and discuss with students as necessary
• Access  Lewis Hine's Report  on Child Labor in the Cotton Mills of Mississippi, 1911.
• Why did Hine make "quiet visits?"
• Why did he visit during "working hours", "noon-hours" and "around homes?"
• What kind of information would Hine collect from the children?
• Why did Hine keep such accurate records?
• Why did Mr. Mitchell move to Meridian, Mississippi?
• Why is the statement "miles from any railroad" important?
• How would you describe the Mitchell household?
• Do you think the Mitchell story is typical? Why or Why not?
• Discuss answers.

Activity Three: Primary Source Analysis - Photographs (1 - 2 class periods)

• Pass around several personal snapshots, and discuss what can be learned from examining a photograph.
• Distribute or project the image of  Coal Breaker Boys  from  Detroit Publishing Company  on a large screen. Feel free to use any other appropriate image.
• Brainstorm observations.
• Students analyze the photograph, recording their thoughts on the  Primary Source Analysis Tool . Before the students begin, select questions from the teacher's guide  Analyzing Photographs and Prints  to focus and prompt analysis and discussion.
• Discuss the experience of investigating the photographs.
• How are photographs used by historians?
• What other types of primary sources do you know about?
• What is the importance of using primary sources in understanding history?
• What if no one took photographs of these children?

Activity Four: Guided Practice (2 - 3 class periods) (May be adapted for lab or classroom)

• Divide students into pairs or small groups.
• Sweeper boy
• Glass factory workers
• Breaker boys
• The Slebzak family
• Gather the class back as a large group. Solicit observations and discuss the images with students. Compare student findings, attempt to draw consensus, some teacher guidance may be needed. (It may be helpful to project each image on a large screen to prompt discussion.)

Activity Five: Student Project (4 - 6 class periods)

• Form small research groups, approximately four or five students per group.
• Distribute a copy of the simulated  Confidential Memo  from the editor of  The New York Examiner  to each research team. Please understand that this memo is a prompt for this activity; it is NOT a primary source.
• Acting as journalists, students will select tasks. Each group should have at least one of the following:

1. Historian Historians will create a graphic and visually appealing timeline. The purpose of the timeline is to present readers with an overview of the issue of child labor as it relates to industrialization, immigration and economic cycles. Background should reach back to 18th century Europe and conclude with the Great Depression.

2. Editor Student will choose a persona (a parent, factory owner/employer, reformer or politician) and write an editorial aimed at persuading readers to take some form of action relating to changing child labor conditions or defending the conditions which make it necessary for children to work. Work should display an emotional involvement in the issue and definite point of view.

3. Photojournalist Photojournalism is an important part of telling a news story. Often photographs present accounts far more powerfully than text. Your task is to locate compelling photographs which deal with the issue of child labor and present these photographs with original captions.

4. News Reporter The task of the news staff is to present readers with accounts of children at work as news stories. Your work is not editorial. Rather, you should present the facts, represent opinions only as quotes, and attempt to present balanced news stories.

5. Other tasks to reflect student talents or interests, such as poet, political cartoonist, etc.

• Traditional print newspaper (a cut and paste activity on large paper)
• Newspaper story boards on trifold cardboard displays
• Desktop published newsletter
• Multimedia presentation or Web site
• Reminder: though our own communication technology has improved dramatically since the turn of the century, remind students to try to convey a sense for the period through their product (e.g. old-fashioned fonts and images).
• Using the simulated  Modern Memo  prompt, create a newspaper activity which deals with the issue in today's world, mirroring the activity presented above.
• On a map of the world, label areas where children are working and describe the working conditions.
• Write a letter to a policy maker or editor expressing your opinions, based on your research.
• Search for and select a photograph that you find especially moving from the Library of Congress digital collections . Write a poem expressing the feelings of the child/children in the photograph.
• Consider a field trip to a museum which focuses on the work of children.
• Write a letter from the perspective of a working child. Imagine yourself writing to a friend. Describe a typical day working at a mill, factory, cannery, a mine or a farm.
• Read a work of fiction to get a greater understanding of the life of a child during the Industrial Revolution. (e.g. Katherine Paterson's  Lyddie  or Dicken's  Oliver Twist  or  Hard Times )
• Compare a photograph of children working from the early 20th century with a photograph of children working toward the end of the 21st century.
• Create a simulation of a town meeting in which the issue of child labor is discussed. Participants may play the roles of: parents, employers, children, mayor, social reformers, journalists.
• Should there be stiffer legislation?
• Should there be more careful monitoring of children's work by parents and teachers?
• What should the rules be regarding the hours and responsibilities of young workers?
• Should there be rules be regarding interference with school work?

• Speech on Child Labour in English for Students

Read Speech on Child Labour on Vedantu

Here the students will get to know about the speech on ‘Child Labour’. The speaker is trying to raise awareness among people about the seriousness of child labour and its effects on society. One of the main purposes of the speech is to motivate people to take action against child labour. We have mentioned long speeches and short speeches. You can choose any one of them according to your needs. Students and teachers can also make changes in the speech to make it more effective. Child labour is a global issue, but it is particularly prevalent in South Asia, which has the highest number of child labourers in the world. Child labour refers to the employment of children under certain allowable conditions and restrictions that differ from country to country. It can be defined as any activity performed by a child before completing their 11th birthday and obtaining 12 years of education.

Child Labour is a global issue, but it is particularly prevalent in South Asia, which has the highest number of child labourers in the world. UNICEF states in its report that there are 168 million children aged 5-17 involved in child labour worldwide, and out of these, approximately 120 million are involved in hazardous work. Child labour refers to the employment of children under certain allowable conditions and restrictions that differ from country to country.

Students can use the below-given speeches in their school and college functions. You can use this in your functions and make it more effective and efficient by making changes in order to suit your needs.

Children are considered to be the future of the country. As they grow up, they are given opportunities to prove themselves so that they could be the ones who will help in developing the country. But what if I tell you there are cases in which a child is not allowed to experience his childhood instead is thrown into adulthood where he or she is forced to work. Child labour is the crime that forces children to work at a very young age.

Below 2 speeches on child labour are given, a long speech on child labour and a short speech on child labour which helps in understanding this crime committed against young children.

Long Speech on Child Labour

'Good morning everyone!'. Today I want to talk about an important topic which is a major threat to children’s rights and that is Child labour.

Child labour is a crime in which children are forced to work at a very young age. It’s considered an illegal activity because children between the age of 5-15 are not yet ready to work anywhere. It is sad to see that the age at which children should enjoy childhood are forced to work and enter adulthood.

Millions of children around the world are forced to work which robs them of having a happy childhood, education, and a good future. Child labor remains to be a serious challenge to the happiness of children.

According to the report of the International Labour Organization(ILO), child labour has reduced in most of the country but it is still a major problem in many developing countries such as India. Srilanka etc.

So the next question that comes to everyone’s mind is what is the situation of child labour in India? According to the 2018 report of ILO, about 13 million children between the age of 5-15 are engaged in child labour in India. When children are employed at such a young age their chances to attend school and complete education is highly impossible. Children continue to do labor to provide food at the house and, in turn, are trapped in a cycle of poverty.

The age at which children should live their life to the fullest is forced to work at dangerous construction sites. The majority of these children are of age 5-15 and they work almost 16 hours per day to help their families make ends meet.

As children grow older, their involvement in getting odd jobs also increases as they have to provide for their families. In India, 20-30% of children aged 15 to 17 are involved in doing dangerous jobs which could be selling drugs or cigarettes on the streets.

India is a developing country in spite of the recent economic boom, one-third of the Indian population lives below the poverty line which is considered to be the primary reason for child labour in our country. People living in such conditions don’t have food to eat and that is the reason they make their children work.

Due to poverty, parents sell their children or abandon them on the street, which in turn causes many crimes like child trafficking and sex trafficking. These innocent and vulnerable children are then forced to odd jobs that could range from selling drugs, cigarettes, and even begging.

The Indian Government had passed a law against child labour in 1993 forbidding dangerous work that could cause harm to children under the age of 18. In spite of this, people exploit the law as there are many loopholes in the system which includes corrupted government officials.

In 2006 and 2016, the law against child labour was tightened to ensure that children under the age of 15 are not allowed to be used as domestic help at hotels and restaurants.

To conclude this speech I want to say that Government and the citizens play an important role in ending child labour which directly exploits children’s rights. The laws against child labour should be tightened and the punishment should be changed from fine to prison. It is important to fight poverty as it is the primary reason for child labour.

The Government should make sure that free education and food are provided to children, and a campaign should be organized that allows parents to see the brighter side of educating their children. A child should be tracked if he or she is not attending school. Lastly, as a citizen, it is the duty of each and every one of us to report abuse against a child. Thank you.

Short Speech on Child Labour

'Good morning everyone!', today I want to talk about an important topic which is a major threat to children’s rights and that is Child labour.

Child labour is a crime in which children are forced to work at a very young age. According to the International Labor Organization(ILO), children working below the age of 15 are not allowed. Millions of children around the world are forced to work which robs them of having a happy childhood, education, and a good future. Child labor remains to be a serious challenge to the happiness of children.

Child labour is a major problem in many developing countries which includes India. According to the 2018 report of ILO, about 13 million children between the age of 5-15 are engaged in child labour in India.

In India, 20-30% of children aged 15 to 17 are involved in doing dangerous jobs which could be selling drugs or cigarettes on the streets.

One-third of our country is in poverty which is considered to be the primary reason for child labour. People living in such conditions don’t have food to eat and that is the reason they make their children work. These innocent and vulnerable children are then forced to odd jobs that could range from selling drugs, cigarettes, and even begging.

The Indian Government had passed a law against child labour in 1993, 2006 and in 2013 forbidding dangerous work that could cause harm to children under the age of 18.

I wanna conclude this speech by saying that Government and the citizens play an important role in ending child labour. Laws against child labour should be tightened, free education and food should be provided to children. As a citizen, it is important to report child abuse to the nearest police station. Thank you.

Conclusion:

Child labour is a crime that robs children of their development, education, and happiness. In order to end child labour, governments should tighten the laws against it as well as fight poverty as a major cause for this exploitation. As citizens, it is our duty to report all cases of child abuse to the nearest police station. In conclusion, child labour is a crime that should be stopped. People who engage in child labour should be punished. One should not forget that poverty is the primary reason for child labour. So, let us all join hands to fight poverty and bring happiness to the lives of these children.

FAQs on Speech on Child Labour in English for Students

1. What are the major causes of child labour?

According to 2015 statistics by UNICEF, around 6% of children between 5-14 years are engaged in child labour. The main reasons for this are poverty, hunger, unemployment, lack of education, family problems, disability and the urge to support their families financially. Child labour is often a result of one or more of these underlying issues. There are many cases of child exploitation as well. These causes are not limited to certain regions of the world. These are universal problems that affect every country, including India. We should come together and fight the cause of child labour rather than punishing children for their own exploitation.

2. What are some measures that can be taken to prevent child labour?

According to UNICEF, there are some measures that can be taken to stop or prevent child labour which include: decent work for adults; free compulsory education; social support systems like health care and childcare; poverty reduction through economic growth; building schools in every village of the country; introducing more curricula on life skill education; and awareness programmes on the hazards of child labour. It is important for every country to take these necessary steps to eradicate child labour. India has made some progress in this direction, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.

3. What should be the punishment for people who engage in child labour?

In India, the 1993 Act states that anyone who is employing children in contravention of the law shall be punished with imprisonment for a term up to six months or with a fine which may extend up to Rs. 20,000 (US \[$\]290) or both. The 2006 Act states that if someone engages in child labour and causes harm to them physically or mentally, they shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to five years and/or a fine which may extend to Rs. 1,00,000 (US \[$\]1,460). The 2016 amendment to the law further states that if someone employs a child in any hazardous occupation or process, they will be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years and/or a fine which may extend to Rs. 3,00,000 (US \[$\]43,860). These punishments are not deterrent enough. The exploitation of children is a crime that should not be tolerated in any society. Every person has a right to basic needs like food, shelter, and education. Children should not be forced to leave school and work in order for their families to make a living. Those who engage children in such activities should be severely punished.

4. How can we fight poverty which is the main reason for child labour?

Fighting poverty is the key to eradicating child labour. There are many ways in which this can be done. For example, there are programmes for financial inclusion that can provide poor people access to banking services and thereby allow them to increase their income levels. Also, livelihood empowerment programmes can help in increasing the incomes of poor people. Such programmes should be spread all over the country and should be implemented effectively. Also, there are several other ways to tackle poverty, like reducing wasteful expenditure, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, increasing infrastructure investment by the Government to create more jobs, etc. Many children around the world are forced into labor every day. Child labour is a global problem that needs to be stopped.

5. What is your opinion about the impact of child labour on society?

Child labour is a major concern of our society today. Many children around the world are forced into labor every day. The main reason for this problem is poverty and joblessness, forcing families to send their children out to work instead of school. Most people feel that children will not be able to do such hard work and that they are not strong enough to handle the workload. This is not true. Children can do the same amount of work as adults if they are given enough training and if the work is not too strenuous. However, child labour has a negative impact on society. Firstly, it denies children their basic right to education. Secondly, it affects their physical and mental development. Thirdly, it exposes them to health hazards. Fourthly, it makes them vulnerable to exploitation. Finally, it increases crime rates in society. We need to take steps to eradicate child labour from our society. We need to provide alternate sources of income to poor families so that they do not have to send their children out to work. We need to encourage families to educate their children and make them realize that education is a necessity of life.

Child LabourUN Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) 13th-17th June 2016 Children and young people have the right to be protected from economic exploitation, and from work that would harm them - UNCRC article 32

Economic exploitation means not being paid a fair amount for your work. It can also mean being made to work more hours than you are supposed to. What does that mean? Why is this important? • Harmful work is • anything hazardous; • anything that gets in the way of your education; • anything bad for your health or your physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development. Can you think of any examples?

Child Labour and the UK Article 32 says the government must do everything they can to make sure you are protected from exploitation and harmful work. This includes: • Having rules for the age at which children are allowed to work; • Having rules about the hours children can work; • Having rules for the types of work children can do; • Punishing people who break these rules. • Do you know what age you have to be to have a job in Scotland? In Scotland and the rest of the UK you have to be 13 to have a job. Even then, you are only allowed to have a part-time job. (models and actors can be younger) Click here if you want to know more

Child labour and the UK • Children and young people are also protected from work that could harm them. • Includes working in factories and on farms • Anyone who breaks the rules on child labour faces a fine. In 2009, the maximum fine for most offences was £1,000. More serious breaches of the law, like employing a child in a dangerous job, could result in fines of £20,000 or even higher. Do you think this is an appropriate way of punishing people who exploit children or make them do harmful work? Should we be stricter?

Speech on Child Labour

Child labour is a troubling issue that affects millions of kids worldwide. It forces children into work, robbing them of their innocence and education.

You might have seen images of kids toiling in factories or fields. This is child labour, a practice that is sadly common in many parts of the world.

1-minute Speech on Child Labour

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good day to you all. I am here today to address a pressing issue that affects millions of children worldwide, “Child Labour”. This is not just a term, it is a scar on society that we need to heal with love, care, and education.

Child labour refers to the exploitation of children through any form of work. It deprives them of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular schools, and mentally, physically, socially, and morally harms them. The issue is not confined to developing or underdeveloped countries, it is a global concern.

The major cause of child labour is poverty. Parents unable to make ends meet force their children to work in hazardous conditions for meagre wages. Instead of studying, playing, and dreaming, millions of children are working in factories, mines, and fields. This is a gross violation of their rights and a theft of their innocent childhood.

Let’s raise our voices against child labour, report incidents that we witness, and spread awareness about the harmful effects of child labour. Let’s promote education, as it is the most powerful tool that can help break the vicious cycle of poverty and child labour.

Remember, children are not meant to earn their living, they are meant to learn, play and grow. Let’s join hands to give every child the childhood they rightfully deserve.

2-minute Speech on Child Labour

Good morning! Today, I stand before you to discuss an issue that continues to plague our society despite modern advancements and progress. The issue is child labour.

Child labour is a crime against humanity that directly infringes the rights of over 152 million children worldwide. It deprives these innocent souls of their childhood, their potential, their dignity. It is a form of physical and mental torture that no child deserves. Child labour is a social evil that we need to eradicate from our society.

Why do children work? It’s a question we should all be asking. The primary reason is poverty. In many parts of the world, families are forced to send their children to work in order to supplement the family income. Lack of access to quality education is another significant factor. Many children are deprived of their basic right to education due to the unavailability of schools and teachers, or because their families can’t afford the associated costs.

These children work in absolutely inhumane conditions. They work in hazardous industries, factories, mines and fields, often handling dangerous tools and toxic substances. They work long hours, are subjected to physical and emotional abuse and are paid pittance. This robs them of their innocence and joy, and leaves them scarred for life.

Child labour is not just a problem for the countries where it’s most prevalent – it’s a global issue. Many of the goods we consume every day – from the coffee we drink to the clothes we wear – are produced through child labour. We, as consumers, have a moral responsibility to ensure that our purchases do not contribute to this awful exploitation.

Imagine a world where every child can enjoy their childhood, where every child has the opportunity to learn and grow, where every child is free from exploitation. This is not an impossible dream. It’s a reality that we can create, if we all work together.

In conclusion, child labour is a horrendous practice that continues to persist in the modern world, and it’s our collective responsibility to abolish it. Let us all pledge to contribute towards this cause in whatever way we can. Remember, every effort counts, and every child saved is a step towards a brighter and better world.

1 min Child Labour Speech

Respected Principal, Teachers and My Dear Friends!

Today, we all are here in this assembly to express our views on some of the biggest issues in India and therefore I would like to say a few words on Child Labour, one of the major problems continuing from even before the birth of our nation.

Child labour is an imposition of manual work over children in exchange of some money, place to live in etc. The children sometimes are used as bondage labours as they do not ask for a lot to pay. It not only deprives them of their childhood but also ruins their fundamental rights and duties to education etc., and destruction of their entire future.

There are many governmental programs running to stop child labour in the country and they made it illegal to keep children under the age of 18 as labours. Apart from this, it is our own responsibility to raise voice against injustice happening to children around us and only then this problem could be sorted.

Child Labour Speech in 200 words

Good Morning Respected Principal, Colleagues and My Dear Students!

Today we all are assembled here on the celebration of this beautiful occasion of Children’s Day , I would like to address one of the biggest problem that many children are facing every day, CHILD LABOUR. Even in today’s world where education is being prioritized by both the government and parents, there are still many places across the country where children are used as slaves and kept as bondage labours.

People keep children as workers and slaves because they do not demand much for money and easy to be dominated by them. Although in India, it is illegal to keep under aged children as workers but still we can find under aged children working.

It is not only a matter of children laboring but also of them remaining uneducated and illiterate with spoiled childhood. This will eventually affect the future of the country and its growth. Child trafficking or human trafficking is also a part of child labour as the children gets trafficked from one place to another so that they can be used as slaves.

This problem should be the concern of every citizen because this problem will hinder the development of our country and spoil the childhood of many children across the country.

2 Min Speech on Child Labour Day

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen! Today, as we have gathered here, I would like to take this opportunity to express my views on one of the most significant issues that blocks the social and economical growth of the nation.

I hope you all must be well aware of the child labour and the threats it poses to a nation’s growth, not to mention the future of a child. Child labour is a curse to the children who are forced to do trivial manual jobs, for little monetary payment in exchange. It deprives their childhood of freedom, education and a health.

The situation is grimmer in the poorest countries of the world, where nearly 25% of child population is engaged in child labour. Poverty and illiteracy is the main causes of child labour. Usually the children are employed by their own parents to supplement the family’s income. Children engaged in child labour, never get an opportunity to go to school and are pushed into a life of misery and poverty.

Not only the child labour ruins the life of children, but also hinders the economical and social progress of a nation. Future of a nation relies on its children and if the childhood is suffering today, then the nation will suffer tomorrow.

With this I would like to conclude my speech, requesting you all to keep up the fight against Child Labour in hope of a happy childhood and a satisfied nation. Thank You!

Child Labour Speech 500 words

Good morning to the respected Principal sir, sir, madam and my dear colleagues. My name is … I study in class … We have gathered here to celebrate this special occasion of … So, I would like to speech on child labour, a big social issue, interfering the growth and development of country. First of all I would like to thank my class teacher for offering me such a great opportunity to speech here.

My dear friends, child labour has been a big social issue which interferes the nation’s development to a great extent. As we all know that children become the future of the country so why people are using child labour only for their small benefits. Why they do not see from our eyes, why they do not let small children to live their sweet childhood? Why they keep small children away from their right of education. Some of the industrialists and businessmen involve children in some kind of employment at very low cost labour. They do so only for their greediness of getting efficient work at low cost of labour.

Child labour withdraws small children from their sweet and memorable childhood. It interferes with their regular schooling as it disturbs them mentally, physically, socially and morally. It is very dangerous and harmful disease to the children as well as country. This exploitative practice is still continuing by various international organizations despite of various strict rules and regulations all across the world which prohibits child labour. This social issue is running in the society for many years from the ancient time which has affected the development to a great extent.

Most of the children are involved in the child labour in the fields like agriculture, factories, home-based assembly operations, mining, production, and other services. Some of them have to work in night shifts or over time because of the need of more work and earn some more money for improving the financial condition of their family. Their normal routine of work become 12 hours long for which they get paid a little amount. The most important and primary causes of the child labour are very low family income, unavailability of schools with proper facilities for poor children, and illiteracy among poor parents.

This issue has been spread like a virus to the wide range of areas in the developing countries because of the high poverty, poor schooling opportunities, high population rate, lack of adult emplacement, etc. The highest incidence rate of child labour was in sub-Saharan Africa in 2010.

According to this, more than 50% of the children (aged 5-14 years) of Africa were working. The agriculture field worldwide has been a largest employer of child labour for years. A big percentage of child labour is found in the rural settings and informal urban economy where children are forcefully employed by their owner or parents. According to the statistics of World Bank, there is seen some decrease in the incidence of child labour worldwide (25% in 1960 however, reduced to 10% by 2003).

My dear friends, we should be aware in detail about this problem and take some positive steps to remove this issue from the society. As being youth of the country, we are highly responsible towards the growth and development of the country, so we should work positively in the fields interfering it to go ahead.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat

Child Labour Speech on 400 words

Good morning to the Principal sir, sir, madam, my seniors and dear friends. My name is … I study in class … At this event, I would like to speech on child labour, its causes, and steps taken by government to remove this social issue from the society. I am very grateful to my class teacher that she has given me such as a great opportunity to speech on this topic in front of you.

Child labour is the wrong practice running in the society worldwide for years from the ancient time. It is not only a national issue but it is a worldwide issue. Child labour is the act of involving children in some type of labour at very low cost to get efficient work by the owners, industrialists, businessmen, etc.

Generally they involve children in economic activity on part time basis. Somewhere children work for full night and over time without any leave to get more financial help. Child labour interferes with the physical and mental development of the children. It has taken its deep root in the society because of poverty, lack of shelter and food, lack of facilities for poor people, lack of education, big gap between rich and poor, growth of informal economy, etc.

According to the national census of India, the number of child labour (aged 4-15 years ) in 1998 was around 12.6 million, between 2009-2010 it was around 4.98 million (aged 5-14 years) and in 2011 it was around 4.35 million (aged 5-14).

Here we see that child labour is decreasing year wise however, the question is, why we are not able to finish it completely even after living in an advanced era? Why it is decreasing very slowly, and not has finished yet? I think the main reason behind it; people have not developed their mind level positively yet. There is still the existence of dictatorship of rich people over poor people in the society. There is a big gap between rich and poor; well developed people have not capacity to accept equality in the society.

Indian law has specified around 64 industries as hazardous in which employing children are considered as criminal offence. Around 120,000 children in the country were involved in the hazardous job in 2001. The Constitution of India has prohibited the employment of children in hazardous industries however, not in non-hazardous industries.

According to the UNICEF, it is estimated that the highest number of child labour is in India (under 14 years of age) all over the world. According to the International Labour Organization, around 60% of all the child labour is involved in agriculture whereas 70% by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization.

Child labour in the hazardous industries is prohibited by the Article 24 of India’s constitution. There are various laws and the Indian Penal Code (such as Juvenile Justice (care and protection) of Children Act-2000, Child Labour (Prohibition and Abolition) Act-1986, etc) working in the field to stop child labour in India.

Child Labour Speech 7 – Long Speech 350 words

Good morning to the Excellencies, Principal sir, sir, madam, my seniors and dear friends. My name is … I study in class … I would like to speech on child labour at this occasion because it is one of the big issues interfering with the growth and development of our country. I would like to say a big thank to my class teacher to give me such as a great opportunity to speech here on this topic.

My dear friends, child labour is a global issue, it is not the issue of our country only so, it needs a global effort to get removed from the society. It has affected worldwide especially developing countries to a great extent. Children are involved in various types of labour at low payment; bonded child labour is one of them. It is a very old system in India in which children are forced, or partly forced by the owner to perform their job for long time.

In this system, especially child or his/her parents have to agree for an agreement (oral or written) with the creditor. It was emerged in India during colonial period to get reliable and cheap labour at loan or land-lease relationship basis. Legislation was passed in 1977 in order to prohibit bonded child labour in India. However, some evidences have found proving the continuation of bonded child labour in the country.

Child labour is a serious issue in the society in terms of economic welfare because children involved in labour at their little age cannot get necessary education. They drop the opportunity of being a well developed (physically, mentally, intellectually, socially, psychologically and financially) citizen of the nation. Their physical and mental condition reduces day by day which makes them more vulnerable to various diseases. They remain illiterate lifelong which limit their ability to contribute in the well-being of their own and country.

There is need to make industrialists and businessmen well aware about all the adverse effects of child labour on the country’s development. Everyone must understand that education is the only tool to improve necessary skills among children which will help in increasing their own and nation’s productivity through secured higher-skilled jobs in future. It needs some effective and positive steps to be taken by the end of all Indian citizens especially well educated youths of the country to remove this social issue.

Child Labour Speech 8 – Long Speech 450 words

Good morning to the Excellencies, respected Principal sir, sir, madam, my seniors and dear colleagues. My name is … I study in class … Today we are here to celebrate this occasion so, I would like to speech on the topic of child labour. I am very grateful to my class teacher that she has given me such as a great opportunity to speech here on this topic.

My dear friends, I feel very proud to be the citizen of India however, on the other hand, it makes me shame also that our country is a home to largest number of child laborers all over the world. It is just because of some greedy and clever Indian citizens who involve small children in hazardous labour at low labour cost for their benefits. They never think about the development of their country; they are very selfish and want their own benefits only. Most of the child labour is found in the agriculture field in rural areas and in mining industry, zari, embroidery industry, etc in the urban areas.

Some of the main causes of child labour are poverty, lack of basic facilities to all, lack of social security, etc. There is a big gap between rich and poor people of society, limitation to the basic facilities, and huge level inequality. Such type of social issues adversely affects children of the society (especially poor child) more than other age groups.

Because of the poor condition and lack of knowledge, poor children become ready to work hard for a little payment where they are used as domestic workers in the urban areas. This condition of child labour almost resembles to the situation of slavery. Most of the parents give birth to their children only to earn money and strengthen their financial condition. They involve their kids in the domestic works as their support. We generally see children working in the tea stalls, dhabas, restaurants, hotels, and other hazardous occupations.

It is seen that children involve in the child labour are generally belong to the schedules tribes, schedule castes, OBC and Muslims children. It means, castism (low cast poor people) is also the big reason of child labour in India. Its existence in such an advanced era is because of the inefficient laws, bad administrative system, lack of political desire to eliminate it completely and huge benefits to the employers.

Bonded child labour is also a type of child labour which is generally found in the informal sector. In this, poor children become bonded to work for an employer against a loan, inherited debt or social obligation by the family. We can say bonded labour a form of slavery. Bonded child laborers are more prone to the physical and sexual abuse and any type of negligence cause death. They become psychologically and mentally ill and do not have any other option to survive. As being youth of the country, we should understand our responsibility towards the nation and take some positive steps to eliminate this social issue.
