There are a number of people calling for a ban on child labor. These request are purely based on humane reasons. However, banning child labor (as it is al ready in India) or banning products from industries that employ child labors will not solve the problem. In fact, it will exacerbate the problem at hand by removing the only form of livelihood these kids have. Before resorting to legal measures it is necessary that the Government provides infrastructure to support displaced children. Else, you will just increase the likelihood of these children becoming criminals and/or prostitutes. Its an issue that needs to be tackled well!
