- <p><span>Domestic child labour remains one of the most hidden and exploitative forms of child employment in India and several other developing nations. It involves children, often below the age of 14, engaged in household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, taking care of younger children, fetching water, and even assisting in outdoor errands for employers. These children are frequently employed by middle- and upper-class households and are often subjected to appalling working conditions that violate not only child rights but also basic human dignity. The conditions under which domestic child labourer’s work are harsh, and in many cases, inhumane. They are generally made to work for long hours, beginning at the break of dawn and continuing late into the night, often with little or no rest periods. Unlike adult workers, they are rarely given fixed working hours or holidays, and they work seven days a week. Most domestic child labourers are live-in workers, which mean they stay at the employer’s residence, separated from their families and denied opportunities for social interaction or education. They are deprived of a normal childhood that includes schooling, play, and social development. Many of them come from impoverished families in rural areas or belong to marginalized communities and are sent to cities with the hope of earning a living to support their families.</span></p>
