UNICEF defines child labour as work that exceeds a minimum number of hours, depending on the age of a child and on the type of work. Such work is considered harmful to the child and should there be eliminated[1]. Article 1 of The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Child defines a Child as anyone below the age of eighteen years. The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 defines child as “a person who has not completed his fourteenth year of age”[2].
