Red Card to child labor?

Lots of NGOs are making hue and cry against child labor. Government has officially banned child labor. Since it has not been eradicated. I have seen child labor in firms during my childhood, and now seeing child labors in metro construction of Bangalore. It is more common to find children in restaurants. On my trip to Mysore, a child was literally begging me to buy 10 photos for Rs 10. Not sure if he is doing business or working as a labor for some store owner.

I feel pity for the children who are working in stead of studying and enjoying. But is it right for others to stop them working? If they are not working, what other alternatives do we provide? If a child won't work as labor means she will go to school or play with his friends, we should encourage it. What if the stop of child labor means she won't get proper 2 square meals which may force him/her to do illegal activities? Bubhikshit kim na karoti papah... How can anybody stop child labor without guarantees their situation? Government has no plan for employment guarantee. Or continuous income for non organized workers. They do not have any social security or insurance. On top of that how will the child survive when he/she become more than 18? If he has to work as a labor better start sooner. Do they have any other hope?

If we are looking to stop child labor, we need to work on employment generation and
showing the hope to the children who are working and providing minimum required condition to the people who are working. Banning child labor without working on the root causes may worsen the situation but won't solve it.
