Detailed explanation-1: -The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Bill, 1986 having been passed by both the Houses of Parliament received the assent of the President on 23rd December, 1986. It came on the Statute Book as THE CHILD LABOUR (PROHIBITION AND REGULATION) ACT, 1986 (61 of 1986).
Detailed explanation-2: -Lack of education, illiteracy and consequently the lack of awareness of their rights among them have encouraged child labour. Also, uneducated parents do not know about the impact of child labour on their children.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main objective of the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act is to regulate, prevent and protect underage children from being employed in hazardous occupations and working conditions.
