Child Labour & Work

Child Labor and Child Work

Children are engaged in wide variety of works. The conditions and nature of their work vary from occupations where children are able to develop responsibility

and skills, and combine work with schooling, to conditions of extreme hazards and exploitation. The extent to which work is harmful or beneficial to children depends on number of factors. A distinction is therefore necessary to be made

between “Child Labour” and “Child Work”.

Child Labour

Domestic Child Labour

Domestic child worker is common and wide spread phenomena in Nepal. The subsistence Economic can hardly support people for their live hood. The rural people send their children to the urban centre hoping their better future on the one hand and for earning money to support their family on the other. Thus domestic child labour is not only problem of an individual or a family but also the problem of the society.
