Children toil for 14-16 hours a day in cottonseed production across the country, 40% of the labourer in precious stone cutting sector are children. They work in mining industry in spite of a harsh ban on the same. More than 60% of workers in bangle making industry at Firozabad are children. In urban areas there is a high employment of children in the zari and embroidery industry. The main causes of child labour in India are poverty ,lack of social security, privatization of basic services like water supply, electricity sanitation in urban areas, lack of quality education, using children as domestic workers .This adversely affects children more than anything else.
