The term “child labour” in the narrower sense is defined as work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity and that is harmful to physical and mental development. It refers to work that deprives them of the opportunity to attend school, obliges them to leave school prematurely, or requires them to attempt to combine school attendance with excessively long and heavy work.
