In spite of international conventions and declarations, especially the ILO Convention 182 on Worst Forms of Child Labour, prohibiting the employment of children in mines and quarries, child labour continues unabated in the mines of many countries across the world.. They are found working in quarries, open cast mines and small underground quarries, in conditions, which are absolutely hazardous in nature. Mining and quarrying are among the most dangerous and unhealthy occupations, and children and adolescents are increasingly joining the industry.
