Child Labour
In India
My country is India
•India is located in the South Asia with a
population of 1.3 billion people
Is India a rich or a poor
country?
•India is a rich country but the Indians
are poor. India has the largest amount of
poor people.
Sexual Exploitation
•Sexual exploitation is the sexual abuse of
children just so they could get the basics
of life food, shelter, protection, and/or
money.
•Children were forced into having sexual
abuse so they could get what they
needed to survive.
Agriculture
- Farming, fishing, forestry and
livestock
- Herding sheep, cattle, and
plucking flowers
- Carrying heavy loads on their
heads
- Watering plants
- Harvesting vegetables
Carpet weaving
- these children are poor and kidnapped or
sold and forced to work
- Children were especially good for carpet
weaving because of their fingers and good
eyesight
- These children are required to weave carpets
that may be 30 to 40 square feet in size, one
thread at a time.
Similarities

because of their small fingers
• Children worked because of poverty
• Both genders worked as carpet weavers
• Children couldn't go to school and get an
education

to work or not
Similarities

tools and machines

money

has poor people
shillings a week
• The more children that
worked meant that
adults had fewer
opportunities
• Children made 800
Rupees a month ($16)
Why does child Labour still occur in 2016?
• Child labour still occurs in 2016 because lots of
families are poor and their only way to survive is to
work and help out their families. Child labour
shouldn't be still happening in 2016 but it would be a
lot of money to stop child labour. It would be billions
dollars to end child labour.
What are some solutions to help?
• One of the solutions I thought of to help would be
putting the children in a safe environment and giving
them education, even if it's just for a couple hours a
day that way they could still work to provide for them
selves but still learn how to read and write.
