An Empirical Study of Determinants of Child Labour
Published By: IJSET | Published Date: June, 02 , 2013The objective of this paper is to analyse the nature and magnitude of the problem and determinants of child labour and their participation in the workforce at an early age. The results reveal that family income has significant negative impact on the working hour of the child labour. Children’s desire to work has a positive and significant influence on employment of working children. Free basic facilities and education to extreme poor, community participation, awareness among the people, parents and particularly women’s education and active participation of the citizens and local bodies can reduce incidence of child labour in India.
