PROHIBITION AND PROTECTION ACT

This was declared by the parliament on 23rd December, 1986.

It includes Prohibition of employment of children in certain occupations and processes.

No child shall be employed or permitted to work in any of the occupations which are hazardous by its nature.

CONCLUSIONThe social malady of child labor can be brought

under control, if each individual takes responsibility of reporting about anyone employing a child below the age of 14years.

Thus, instead of ignoring on should find out about reporting child labor and how such children can actually be saved.

Child labor can be controlled if the government functions effectively with the support of the public.
