Can we replace child labours with unemployed youths and job seekers?

Can we replace child labours with unemployed youths and job seekers?

Some points to ponder

1. Competency differs: Educated youths cannot take their jobs.
2. We require intellectual leadership on this issue.
3. WE require mapping of child labour data and reasons.
4. There is issue of skills being transferred from parents and relatives to successors hence children are trained in certain field. So they may object we are not into child labor.
5. There is issue of orphans.
6. There is issue of poor parents who earn daily breads and cannot provide good education to children.
7. There is issue of children being exploited for more and diverse and value added work work and less pay.
8. Social Security: India does not have this. Lack of this has lead to parents to depend on children earning.
9. Willing, trustworthy nature of children.
10. Children don't know what they are doing and they don't know about the rights and consequences.
11. Weaving of mattresses, goldsmiths, hotel boys, construction work, office boys,. conductors and helpers to drives, assistant mechanics, on agricultural lands, bidi industry, home makers, home based industry, SSME, agarbatti, food processing, helpers who are not visible in the unorganised sectors, manufacturing industry, road side garages, welding shops, dhabas, restaurants, factories, peons in the schools/ institutes itself,
12.

The list is unending it seems.

My experience is very good with the services provided by these children. I was 18 and was driving Kinetic company-Looa-TFR a 50 cc bike. Suddenly in rain it failed to move. A road side garage child came and repaired it. He was just 10 years old. Now he is big mechanic. He used to repair at least 20 vehicle every day and he earned Rs. 10 daily at that time and his boss, more Rs. 500/- some 20 years ago.

In Rajasthan we saw such children with goldsmiths.

In Kashmir and other places we saw carpet weaving industries flooded with children.

In Maharashtra, as I spent 20 plus years there, my family saw children in hotels, garages, dhabas, restaurants, on the welding shops, in manufacturing industries.

It is not national problem now. It is Universal problem. It is not only Indian phenomenon, I saw such things in top countries as well.

Problem is ethics and moral values.
