Discussion

Most of the child labourers are engaged in agriculture and allied subject like livestock, foresting and fisheries. In the urban areas, children work in dhabas, eateries helpers or cleaners in trucks and as domestic servants etc. They have long working hours, bad and unhygienic working conditions and fewer wages. The main reason behind child labour is poverty. 

The passage best supports the statement that: 

 

  • A. Child Labour is a social evil in every nation.
  • B.Awareness of the people and Government also compels poor parents to make their children employed as laborers
  • C.Almost every country in the world has laws relating to and aimed at preventing child labour.
  • D. Parties recognise the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work. 

Answer: A

Correct answer: Child Labour is a social evil in every nation.

The passage describes children working in agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries, and in dhabas, on trucks and in domestic service, with long hours, unhygienic conditions and low wages, all driven by poverty. That catalogue of harm is what makes the practice an evil. The other options bring in laws, treaty rights and awareness, none of which the passage mentions.
