Child Labour from Different Perspectives

This book is a compilation of the various research papers presented in a seminar “Child Labour in India” held at Aligarh, U.P. in March, 2004. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of almost all the issues related to the social evil of child labour. Child labour in all its dimensions has been dealt with in detail: its socio-economic basis; causes and consequences; problems and prospects; their working conditions; difficulties in the elimination of child labour; role of government and NGOs in the elimination of child labour; rehabilitation of child labour through education, and vocational training. This book would not only benefit academicians, researchers, and students, but also the general reader.
