Detailed explanation-1: -Children may be driven into work for various reasons. Most often, child labour occurs when families face financial challenges or uncertainty – whether due to poverty, sudden illness of a caregiver, or job loss of a primary wage earner.
Detailed explanation-2: -Working helps kids learn the relationship between money, time, and things. This is a simple, basic concept but it’s one parents often lose sight of. If you just buy your kids all the things all the time, they will never develop an appreciation for the relationship between money, time, and things.
Detailed explanation-3: -Poverty is often cited as the main cause of child labour. It is widely believed that families will not be able to cope if their children do not work. In practice, however, the poverty argument does not hold water. Precisely the opposite is true: child labour maintains poverty.
Detailed explanation-4: -Parents send their children to child labour to overcome the economic crisis of COVID-19. In light of the increased number of children in child labour in agriculture as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, eliminating child labour requires coordinated action more than before.
