More than one-third feel money earned by children essential to running household

Child labour might not be easy to eradicate given the worrying perception of Indians on the issue, as brought forth by a rapid assessment survey on social perception of child labour conducted by Child Rights and You (CRY) India volunteers on the occasion of World Day against Child Labour (June 12).

The survey shows that 45 per cent of the surveyed population (3770 individuals over 18 years of age) believed that it was alright for the children to work to support their families, as long as they continued to go to school. Similarly, 45 per cent did not consider taking help of kids in family business, cattle rearing or agriculture work as 'child labour'. Shockingly, as many as 37 per cent felt that money earned by kids was essential to running the household.

However, a majority 86 per cent people did agree that child labour practices increased in the country after Covid-19 pandemic. Also, 69 per cent believed that poverty is the main reason for child labour.

The survey brought out that 77 per cent of respondents greatly underestimate the prevalence of child labour in India. Responding to the questions 'how many child labourers are there in the country as per latest data?' Only 23 per cent were close to the right answer. 

As per the latest Census data available (2011), the total child population in India in the age group (5-14) years is 259.6 million. Of these, 10.1 million (3.9% of total child population) are working, either as ‘main worker’ or as ‘marginal worker’.
