Simple Definition of Child Labour

Simple Definition of Child Labour

A broad definition of child labour would generally include all working
children, paid or unpaid, below the age of 15. In developing countries child
labour is defined as work that impairs the development and well – being of
children. Economists generally viewing child labour as those participating
in some kind of economic activities have now come to realize that ignoring
the time spent by the children in collecting wood and water, tending the
animals, preparing food and meals, caring for family members would
imply that a child spending only two hours a day in agriculture work could
be placed alongside twelve hours a day in the absence of their parents.
