1、Essay写作范文印度童工:对教育的影响在成长的过程中，我坚信每个孩子都拥有和我一样的优势:衣服、书籍、玩具、食物、一个家，最重要的是，还有上学的机会。我记得第一次意识到情况并非如此时，我才七岁，正偷偷溜下楼去看周六早晨。当我偶然看到一则电视广告，呼吁人们为世界宣明会捐款时。我记得有一则广告，讲的是一个大约六岁的小女孩，她每天去工厂上班，工资很少甚至没有。至少可以说，我很困惑，我以为每个孩子都去上学了。自然，这让我的父母产生了几个没有答案的问题，也让他们产生了一种普遍的好奇心，那就是为什么富人和那些从五岁起就被迫工作的人之间会存在这种不平等的鸿沟。毫无疑问，童工现象在印度等国存在。我很想研究这对印度童工生活的影响尤其是对上述儿童教育的影响。Essay writing service on .Growing up,I truly believed that every child had the same advantages I did:clothes,books,toys,food,a home,and most importantly,the chance to go to sch

2、ool.I remember the first time I realized this wasnt the case:I was seven years old,sneaking downstairs to watch Saturday morning T.V when I stumbled upon an infomercial urging people to donate on behalf of World Vision.I remember the commercial showing a little girl,approximately six years old and explaining how she went to work at a factory every day for little to no compensation.I was bewildered to say the least;I thought every child went to school.Naturally,this prompted several unanswered qu

3、estions to my parents,and a general curiosity as to why there is this unequal divide between the affluent and those who are forced to work from as young as five years old.Child Labour is undoubtedly present in countries such as India.I am curious to research the implications on the life of a child worker in India-specifically the implications on said childs education.Child labour,according to Free the Children(2005),is seen as“work that is done by children under the age of fifteen(fourteen in so

5、ation.I will argue this thesis by providing a brief history of the child labour laws in India,as well as providing a quotation by the Indian government describing the thoughts and laws concerning child labour.I intend to juxtapose this testimonial with one given by UNICEF,an international organization that is dedicated to ending child labour in the global south.I then intend to show the impacts of child labour on developmental indicators such as education.India is currently one of the countries

6、described in the Free the Children quotation that attempts to enforce child labour laws for children less than fourteen years of age.In 1979,the Indian Government formed the Gurupadswamy Committee;a committee that was formed in the hopes of suggesting measures to end child labour.While the Government has put forward several goals towards the end of child labour,it is recognizably a difficult endeavour.On the Indian Government Website,it states that“poverty is the root cause of child labourandthe

7、 action plan emphasizes the need to cover these children and their families”(Ministry of Labour and Employment 2005)From this quote,it is clear that the Government of India recognizes that the amount of poverty in India is a determining factor in the amount of child labourers in the country.In a CBC article,“The End is within Reach?”(2005),speaks of the relationship between poverty and child labour in India,suggesting that one cannot exist without the other.If this is the case,and if the Indian

8、government considers reducing and eventually eliminating child labour a concern and goal,then it becomes necessary to consider the factors that lead to poverty in India before pursuing the elimination of child labour.A law enacted in 1986,based upon the recommendations of the Gurupadswamy Committee,states that“children less than fourteen years of age cannot be employed in hazardous occupations.”(Ministry of Labour and Employment 2005)Hazardous occupations,according the Government,refers to any w

9、ork that involves unsafe activities or working conditions,and includes such activities as operating transportation vehicles,work that involves proximity to a railway line and work that involves handing toxic and hazardous substances.These are only some examples of hazardous occupations that are part of an expanding list.Since this law,several others,for example the Legislative Action Plan,a plan for enforcing Child Labour laws in India,have been enacted and are now referred to as The National Policy on Child Labour.According to the 2005 Indian Census,the National Child Labour Projects now covers 41%of the country.The Indian Government,in the attempt to enact long term legislative changes on the subject of child labour,acknowledges that these changes will take time to fully come into effect.The Government also acknowledges that the amount of poverty in India is a definite factor to this debate in that the revenue gained from the
