Causes of Child Labour

       Poverty is the main causes of child labour. Poor parents send their children to work, not out of choice, but for reasons of economic expediency. The hunting grounds for child traffickers are invariably areas of the most extreme poverty where families have exhausted all other stragies for survival. Poverty is also a symptom of child labour. Denial of education blocks the escape route from poverty for next generation of the household.
      Others factors may provoke thes cycle,for examples, schools in inaccessible of prohibitively expensive, with inadequate teaching and classroom resources. Many agricultural economies involve sesonal migration for whole families, to the detriment of schoolingand enevitable employment of children. Cultural pressure too especially for girl children.Although almost every country has laws prohibiting the employment of children below certain age, law relating to domestic work and farm labour are especially problematic as these activities are so tighty bound within the family unit.
