Child labour is employing children who are under aged (generally 5-14 years old)to work as determined laws of a state.This practice is considered to be exploitative in many countries and international organizations. Labor work that harms children. Keeps them out of school. Allows no free time.
In Victorian England and 19th century USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, children were commonly used as cheap labour. Child Labor was not new to the world. During the Industrial revolution in 1780 and 1840, there was a massive increase in child exploitation. In 1788, more than 60% of workers in textile mills of England were children.
Agricultural areas. Industrial and factory sites and construction usages. In Mine industry and scrape businesses. As home maids in India like 3rd world countries. In roadside hotels. mills and workshop purposes.

for working.
NGOs are against on it as protest Orgs ILP - In 20th Century, growing awareness world-wide led to
the International Labour Organization (United Nations) to develop standards for the protection of child labour.
Conduction of IPEC
IPEC's work to eliminate child labour is an important facet of the ILO's Decent Work Agenda. The number & range of IPECs partners include employers
and workers organizations, other international and government agencies, private businesses, community-based organizations, NGOs,
reservations to eliminate Child Labour issue. UNICEF and ILO like NGOs are helped hand with Government, future is bright.
from 1960s to till now, is thrown away backward in development of countries. Since then to resolve this problem many Acts are passed, social movement are taken against it, general awareness increased, bring them to education system, NGOs are step forward, and now the introduce IPEC. Now Child labour is reducing, but need more. I think that The Government have to take all most responsibility, public have more conscious and srictly prohibited to used them.
