Still, child labor is employed due to its wages are less and easy availability.
For specific jobs women and child labor is considered to be more convenient and cheaper. These workers are available directly through other workers. Specific attempts through advertisement of employment exchanges are not necessary.
Normally child labor is engaged for simple and easy jobs. So, these children do not need specific training or education. This reduces cost of training and the workers do not bear loss of the training period.
