Wherein information about child labour is concerned, UNICEF estimates that over 150 million children between the age of 5 to 14 years, worldwide, are involved in child labour. According to the latest statistical reports from the International Labour Organization, 7.4 million children in the same age group are engaged in domestic work, which is excessively carried out by girls. The statistics of the information about child labour in the domestic sector in India is inexplicable; these statistics are maintained by the National Sample Survey Organisation and the Office of Registrar General of India through the ten-yearly census.
