The practice of child labor is a burden on the economy of any nation, a stigma in the name of humanity and a shame for children, but due to personal interests of some sections, it is prevalent not only in India or third world countries but also in the so-called rich and developed countries of the world. The planned type is becoming increasingly prevalent in the countries also. Even in a rich and prosperous country like America, the incidence of child labor is continuously increasing. According to the report of the US Auditor General, between 1990 and 2000, incidents of child labor law violations in America have increased by more than 150 percent. The industrialists there also exploit the opportunities available to child laborers for cheap wages, whose wages are low. Similarly, an increase in such incidents has been recorded even in Central and Eastern Europe, but this problem is very serious in the countries of Farrukhabad district. As a conclusion of the data collected by various organizations, it can be said that in almost all the Zardozi centers of Farrukhabad district, children are exploited by employing them in various industries and works.
