The Constitution forbids the employment of children below the age of ____ years in dangerous jobs like factories and mines.
Answer
Correct Answer : b ) 14
Explanation :Under the Right Against Exploitation, Article 24 prohibits the employment of children in factories, etc. No child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed in any factory or mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment.
However, the employment in non-hazardous work is allowed.
Laws that were passed for the stringent implementation of Article 24 are:
- The Factories Act, 1948
- The Mines Act of 1952
- The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986
- Child Labour (Prohibition & Regulation) Amendment Act, 2016- This Act completely prohibits the employment of children below 14 years of age. It also bans the employment of people between the ages of 14 and 18 in hazardous work.
- Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Rules, 2017
Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
