The main thrust of the author is on socio-economics and political-legal study having deep bearing on child labour in India. In fact it has become an acute and complex problem in our society and inspite of several laws prohibiting child labour in the industry, domestic affairs and elsewhere, there appears to be little improvement in this direction. The author has weaved the whole theme comprehensively into seven chapters. They deal with meaning and concept of child labour, magnitude of the problem, child labour welfare under fundamental rights, legislative measures in this direction, causes of child labour, child labour a cheap commodity, illiteracy and ignorance of parents, migration to urban areas, international concern to combat child labour, legal protection Child Labour Act, 1986 and Comprehensive Suggestions and recommendations. The book will be useful for teachers, industrialists and students in India and abroad.
