Why does 5 year old chintu praised for his coding work while 5 year old chotu who is selling tea is not?

  Does engagement of children working for earning an issue of concern or not?

Allowing children to get involved in paid work is a controversial and debatable issue. It is a complicated and sensitive topic as there are various circumstances under which a child engaging in paid work is justified and at the same time, there are facts that prove it to be an illegal act.

Wrong thing about child work

  • Childhood is a golden period of life to enjoy, develop and learn rather than getting involved in paid works.
  • It is not practical to drag them to do paid work.
  • Employers manipulate children, they pay-less and exploit the child.
  • The jobs in which children are involved do not give them any benefit instead it hampers their development and restricts their progress.
  • Many children work in factories and which could result in infecting their health. 
  • Instead of getting involved in education a child is forced towards the money which could consequently lead to doing him/her tasks that are inappropriate or not legal.

Right thing about child work

  • On the contrary, the other pool of thought says that it is beneficial for children who have a financial crisis in life.
  • Instead of begging, it is advisable to work and live with dignity.
  • In certain economic circumstances it is necessary for children t work, it will make them responsible, provide them with a valuable experience and enhance their social skills.
  • It could be given the child the courage to stand by his/her own self.
  • The child could learn various ways or skills that are needed for his/her employment.
Final Conclusion

By looking at the situations and cases it's very easy to jump to a conclusion that child labour must be completely banned and anyone who is giving money in return for work to a child must be jailed, but just take a halt, as is it fair enough to restrict the income of the child who is struggling his entire life to even get his/her daily based food for surviving, let's view the picture from their perspective as if we can praise a 5-year old Chintu (example of a child's name) to get self-employed through his coding skills and working for companies then why that 5- year old Chotu (example of a child's name) who is somewhere selling tea for his survival is not praised for, ain't it be hypo-critic, we know that there are various pot-holes or loops in the system or due to certain circumstances by which each and every child could not receive the benefits of the right-to-education act, so finally concluding it only the better option towards the situation before restricting a child from work a well planned path for his education and  responsibilities for his/her nutriment must be taken by each of us who are capable to do.
