&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The COVID-19 has increased risks for children, especially those from vulnerable communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed 100 million more into poverty, says a recent UN report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In our own backyard, what about India&amp;rsquo;s 454 million internal economic migrants, who constitute 37% of the total population? How many of them are youth and women? On June 10, the International Labour Organisation and UNICEF jointly surmised that 160 million children are in child labour; in 2020, the progress in elimination of child labour work has stalled for the first time in 20 years, says the report titled &amp;lsquo;Child Labour: Global estimates 2020, trends and the road forward&amp;lsquo;. This number definitely factors in the over 10 million children between 5-14 years who happen to be child labour in India. While the 10 million figure for India is a decade old, it has increased alongside the manifold risks for the child labour since 2020, the year of the beginning of the pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Migration is an important factor when it comes to child labour in India. Since last year, reverse migration has meant more child labour &amp;ndash; in the cotton farms, in the chilli fields, in domestic work, in the brick kilns, in the supply chains of production companies and other sites. This pandemic has made scholars and practitioners talk eloquently, and rightly so, about the loss of childhood for the 247 million children (UNICEF) who stare at school closures. Yet, when do we talk about the 10 million and more child labour who are perennially devoid of formal schooling?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is now a given that any child who is not in school is a potential child labourer. S/he, if not in school, is then helping parents or caregivers in the family occupations that could range from making illicit liquor to working in brick kilns in Bihar, to bonded farm labour in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to crushing stones and cobbles in home backyards near the mining fields in Rajasthan, to stitching buttons for the garment industries sitting in the slums of Delhi. India witnessed an increase in the number of child marriages since 2020. Girls are further at risk &amp;ndash; married off early, these child brides are also often child labourers.&lt;/p&gt;

The COVID-19 has increased risks for children, especially those from vulnerable communities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed 100 million more into poverty, says a recent UN report.

How many of them are youth and women? On June 10, the International Labour Organisation and UNICEF jointly surmised that 160 million children are in child labour; in 2020, the progress in elimination of child labour work has stalled for the first time in 20 years, says the report titled &amp;lsquo;Child Labour: Global estimates 2020, trends and the road forward&amp;lsquo;. This number definitely factors in the over 10 million children between 5-14 years who happen to be child labour in India. While the 10 million figure for India is a decade old, it has increased alongside the manifold risks for the child labour since 2020, the year of the beginning of the pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Migration is an important factor when it comes to child labour in India. Since last year, reverse migration has meant more child labour &amp;ndash; in the cotton farms, in the chilli fields, in domestic work, in the brick kilns, in the supply chains of production companies and other sites. This pandemic has made scholars and practitioners talk eloquently, and rightly so, about the loss of childhood for the 247 million children (UNICEF) who stare at school closures. Yet, when do we talk about the 10 million and more child labour who are perennially devoid of formal schooling?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is now a given that any child who is not in school is a potential child labourer. S/he, if not in school, is then helping parents or caregivers in the family occupations that could range from making illicit liquor to working in brick kilns in Bihar, to bonded farm labour in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to crushing stones and cobbles in home backyards near the mining fields in Rajasthan, to stitching buttons for the garment industries sitting in the slums of Delhi. India witnessed an increase in the number of child marriages since 2020.

Since last year, reverse migration has meant more child labour &amp;ndash; in the cotton farms, in the chilli fields, in domestic work, in the brick kilns, in the supply chains of production companies and other sites. This pandemic has made scholars and practitioners talk eloquently, and rightly so, about the loss of childhood for the 247 million children (UNICEF) who stare at school closures. Yet, when do we talk about the 10 million and more child labour who are perennially devoid of formal schooling?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is now a given that any child who is not in school is a potential child labourer. S/he, if not in school, is then helping parents or caregivers in the family occupations that could range from making illicit liquor to working in brick kilns in Bihar, to bonded farm labour in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to crushing stones and cobbles in home backyards near the mining fields in Rajasthan, to stitching buttons for the garment industries sitting in the slums of Delhi.

What a Real Commitment to Making India Child Labour Free Means -Monica Banerjee

-TheWire.in The COVID-19 has increased risks for children, especially those from vulnerable communities. The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed 100 million more into poverty, says a recent UN report. In our own backyard, what about India’s 454 million internal economic migrants, who constitute 37% of the total population? How many of them are youth and women? On June 10, the International Labour Organisation and UNICEF jointly surmised that 160 million children are in child labour; in 2020, the progress in elimination of child labour work has stalled for the first time in 20 years, says the report titled ‘Child Labour: Global estimates 2020, trends and the road forward‘. This number definitely factors in the over 10 million children between 5-14 years who happen to be child labour in India. While the 10 million figure for India is a decade old, it has increased alongside the manifold risks for the child labour since 2020, the year of the beginning of the pandemic. Migration is an important factor when it comes to child labour in India. Since last year, reverse migration has meant more child labour – in the cotton farms, in the chilli fields, in domestic work, in the brick kilns, in the supply chains of production companies and other sites. This pandemic has made scholars and practitioners talk eloquently, and rightly so, about the loss of childhood for the 247 million children (UNICEF) who stare at school closures. Yet, when do we talk about the 10 million and more child labour who are perennially devoid of formal schooling? It is now a given that any child who is not in school is a potential child labourer. S/he, if not in school, is then helping parents or caregivers in the family occupations that could range from making illicit liquor to working in brick kilns in Bihar, to bonded farm labour in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to crushing stones and cobbles in home backyards near the mining fields in Rajasthan, to stitching buttons for the garment industries sitting in the slums of Delhi. India witnessed an increase in the number of child marriages since 2020. Girls are further at risk – married off early, these child brides are also often child labourers.
