Childrens under 14 years of age, working as a labour
are considered as Child labour. The employment of children in any work that
deprives children of their childhood, interferes
with their ability to attend regular school, and that
is mentally, physically, socially or morally
dangerous and harmful. This practice is
considered exploitative by many international
organisations. Legislations across the world
prohibit child labour. These laws do not consider
all work by children as child labour; exceptions
include work by child artists, supervised training,
certain categories of work such as those
by Amish children, some forms of child
work common among indigenous
American children, and others. Almost every
country in the world has laws relating to and
aimed at preventing child labour. International
Labour Organisation has helped set international
law, which most countries have signed on and
ratified.
