Summary: The problem of child labour remains a pressing problem in much of the world today. Industrialised economies especially of Europe, North America, Australia etc., have by now reduced, to a considerable extent, employment of child labour; they are yet not fully out of the phenomenon of child labour. Some of them have some child labour originating from social problems, educational systems and poverty. But the problem of child labour as faced by the developing economies today has indeed serious dimensions. India has the largest number of world's working children. And again, 91 per cent of child labour in India is in rural areas while 9 per cent is in urban areas. Although child labour is not considered a serious problem in the sphere of factory industries, in India of today, it persists in varying degrees and in substantial form in the unorganised sector.
