UP has highest number of child labour cases…


June 12 as the 'International day against child labour', leading child rights NGO CRY (Child Rights and You), pointed out that the persistence of child labour in the country is mainly due to lack of political will to actually see to the complete ban of child labour.


According to the NSS - National Sample Survey, 66th round (2009-10), there are 49.84 lakh child labourers across the country, and 23.3 per cent of 15 to 18-year-olds are engaged in some income-earning activity.

Unfortunately, Uttar Pradesh tops the list as the state with highest number of child labour cases in the age group of 10-14 years and third in terms of worst record between 10-18 years.
