Poverty and lack of social security are the main factors that lead to child labor. The intensifying gap between the different income section of society r, the not so liberal economic policies are the leading causes which result in significant parts of the population out of employment and without basic needs. This deleteriously affects children more than any other group. The entry of multinational corporations into the industry without proper mechanisms to hold them accountable has led to the use of child labor. Lack of appropriate channelization of quality universal education has also contributed to children dropping out of school and entering the labor force. Significant distress is that the actual number of child laborers goes undiscovered. Laws that are meant to protect children from precarious labor are ineffective and not implemented correctly.

Bonded child labor is a hidden happening as most of them are found in the informal sector. Bonded labor or slavery means the employment of a person against a loan or debt or social obligation by the family of the child or the family as a whole. It is a form of slavery. Children’s are often found in the agricultural sector or assisting their families in brick kilns industries, and stone quarries to fulfill the basic need of the family. Low-income families usually put children put up as collateral near creditor is a common phenomenon that generally leads to smuggling of children to urban areas for employment and has children working in small production houses and factories. Bonded laborers in India are mostly migratory workers, which opens them up to more enslavement. Also, they mostly come from low caste groups such as Dalit’s or deprecate tribal groups. Bonded child laborers are at very high probability for physical and sexual abuse and sometimes even leading to the death of innocent lives. They frequently are psychologically and mentally disturbed.
