Inductive reasoning, also known as induction or inductive logic, is a kind of reasoning that constructs or evaluates inductive arguments. The premises of an inductive logical argument indicate some degree of support (inductive probability) for the conclusion but do not entail it; that is, they suggest truth but do not ensure it.
Induction is employed, for example, in the following argument:
- Every life form we know of depends on liquid water to exist.
- All life depends on liquid water to exist.
Inductive reasoning allows for the possibility that the conclusion is false, even where all of the premises are true.[1] For example:
- All of the swans we have seen are white.
- All swans are white.
Note that this definition of inductive reasoning excludes mathematical induction, which is considered to be a form of deductive reasoning.
Though many dictionaries define inductive reasoning as reasoning that derives general principles from specific observations, this usage is outdated.Deductive reasoning, also called deductive logic, is reasoning which constructs or evaluates deductive arguments. Deductive arguments are attempts to show that a conclusion necessarily follows from a set of premises or hypotheses. A deductive argument is valid if the conclusion does follow necessarily from the premises, i.e., if the conclusion must be true provided that the premises are true. A deductive argument is sound if it is valid and its premises are true. Deductive arguments are valid or invalid, sound or unsound, but are never false nor true. Deductive reasoning is a method of gaining knowledge. An example of a deductive argument:
The first premise states that all objects classified as 'men' have the attribute 'mortal'. The second premise states that 'Socrates' is classified as a man - a member of the set 'men'. The conclusion states that 'Socrates' must be mortal because he inherits this attribute from his classification as a man.

Well, According to me its Inductive reasoning is used in the this paragraph.An inductive argument is one in which the premises are supposed to support the conclusion in such a way that if the premises are true, it isimprobable that the conclusion would be false. Thus, the conclusion follows probably from the premises and inferences.

Discussion Question
Most of the researches show that household poverty is a powerful motive for child labor. Household poverty is a major phenomenon that leads children towards work – at the expense of their schooling. Children indulge into work for the survival of their families. Also, the poverty rate varies from country to country therefore the rate of Child Labor is different in different countries.
Question:
Identify which type of reasoning (INDUCTIVE or DEDUCTIVE) has been used in above paragraph? Explain briefly.
