Author Name : Dr. S. K. Rai

This is in turn due to poverty, lack of education, ignorance of parents about the importance of education as well as about the impact of labour on the health of their children. Large family with low income, widespread unemployment and under employment among the adult poor strata of population on entrails, due to sharp growth of population are the major reasons responsible for the growth of this evil.
