Socioeconomic

Impact
Child Labour's Effects on Health and Education

NAME: SAISH Salgoankar


ROLL NO:21
Introduction
This presentation explores the socioeconomic
impact of child labor on children's health and
education, highlighting the negative
outcomes associated with these factors.
Impact on
Health
Physical health risks
Child labor exposes children to dangerous working
conditions, leading to injuries, chronic illnesses,
and inadequate nutrition. These physical health
risks impair their growth and development,
making them more vulnerable to diseases.
Mental health consequences
Children engaged in labor often face significant
mental health challenges, including stress, anxiety,
and depression. The lack of a supportive environment
and normal childhood experiences can hinder their
emotional development.
Access to healthcare services
Children engaged in labor often lack access to essential
healthcare services, which exacerbates their health issues. Many
working children are unable to visit clinics or receive vaccinations,
leading to untreated illnesses and long-term health complications.
This gap in healthcare access disproportionately affects their
ability to thrive and succeed in life.
Effect on
Education
School attendance rates
Child labor significantly reduces school attendance rates.
Many children miss classes due to the demands of work,
leading to higher dropout rates. This lack of consistent
schooling prevents them from acquiring the necessary skills
for future employment, trapping them in a cycle of poverty.
Quality of education received
Children who do manage to attend school while working often
receive a lower quality education due to fatigue and lack of
focus. They may not perform well academically, already
prioritizing work over studies. This subpar education limits
their future job opportunities and economic mobility.
Long-term educational
outcomes
The long-term consequences of child labor on education
can be devastating. Many child laborers develop limited
literacy and numeracy skills, which directly impacts their
employability as adults. In the long run, this perpetuates
poverty in families and communities, reducing the
potential for economic growth.
Conclusions
Child labor significantly impacts both the health and education of
affected children. The physical and mental health issues,
combined with reduced access to education, create a cycle of
disadvantage that can last a lifetime. Addressing these issues
requires focused efforts from governments and organizations to
protect children's rights and ensure access to education and
healthcare.
