Priscilla Bolivia Fernandes ·
Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This study examines child labour in India as a form of social exclusion that threatens children's innocence and rights. The author identifies how children are exploited because they are too young to understand or resist, and reveals that lack of awareness about child rights in society enables employers to hire poor children at wages below what adults would receive. The research highlights both the exploitation itself and the broader systemic factors that permit child labour to persist.

- Children's innocence and wellbeing are threatened by various forms of exploitation and human rights violations

Abstract
In this article I have found out that, how a child labour is the exclusionary form of social practice in our society, for which the child is too young to deal with such exploitation intelligently. I revealed how their innocence is in threat with the presence of various forms exploitation or human rights violation due to child labour.Besides this I also revealed about the presence of lack of awareness in the society about the child rights which allows them to employ the poor child as they find them as cheap labourand hence they can be paid half of what an adult worker would need to be paid.\n\n
