7 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009 Child Abuse jobs, 15.8% said that child workers were trustworthy, and 8.3% preferred children because of non-availability of adult workers. About 78% (146) parents were satisfied with the child’s income, and 21.4% were not satisfied. Approximately 37.3% children received occasional allowances, 34.5% received first aid when needed, and 32.2% got free food. Regarding the future plans of children, 37% parents wanted their children to get jobs with a better salary after learning the trade, and 15% wanted their children to start a business and become self-employed. It was suggested that adult literacy programmes should be encouraged, and compulsory free primary education should be provided with free mid day meals, free books and uniforms for the poor. Street plays, meetings, etc. can be organized to create awareness among the community against child labour. V. V. Giri National Labour Ins, NOIDA. (1998). Exploring child labour issues : an abstract series. NOIDA : VVGNLI. 347p. Key Words: 1.CHILD LABOUR 2.CHILD ABUSE 3.STREET CHILDREN 4.EXPLOITATION 5.TRIBAL CHILD 6.JOGIN. Abstract : The document funded by UNICEF, contains abstracts of studies on child labour working in various industries like sports goods, carpet, glass, gem, match and beedi, etc. It also covered studies related to ragpickers and street children, and discussed the involvement of trade unions, legal framework, ILO intervention programmes and involvement of media, etc. Documents widely scattered have been collected together in this compilation for ready reference. Findings of research revealed that these children were exploited by their employers, the police, and persons in their vicinity. Ragpickers worked in extremely hazardous surroundings which adversely affected their health. Many street children were on their own and specially vulnerable to exploitation. The impact of Government programmes was minimal and many children were left out of the ambit of these programmes. To ameliorate the condition of children in vulnerable situations the various studies recommended awareness generation, development of infrastructure, strengthening of the enforcement machinery, involvement of trade unions, setting up of night schools by voluntary organisations, and educating children about their rights.
Diamond Industry Desai, Kiran & Raj, Nikhil. (2001). Child labour in the home based industries in the wake of legislation : the case of diamond industry of Surat. Surat : Centre for Social Studies. 128 p. Key Words : 1.CHILD LABOUR 2.DIAMOND INDUSTRY 3.UNORGANISED SECTOR. Abstract : Surat is a highly industrialized urban centre of the country in which textile and diamond are two prominent industries attracting large sections of migrant work seekers. Employers find it convenient to employ child labour as they are easy to handle, and are paid low wages which gives scope for higher margins of profit. This study is a part of an all India study commissioned by V.V. Giri National Labour Institute, NOIDA and tries to understand the issue of child labour in the diamond industry of Surat city. The study observed the demographic and socio-economic profiles of 525 child workers engaged in the diamond industry of Surat city. Data revealed that 94%of the child workers were migrants and belonged to poor nuclear families. 45% fathers of child workers were working as diamond workers, 25% as labourers, 10% were cultivating land, and the rest were petty traders selling milk, vegetables, and fish, etc. Female child workers were barely 5% in comparison to male child workers. 80% of the child workers started work when they were 11 to 12 years of age and were mainly engaged in bottom polishing (32%), facet polishing (25%), table (17%) and top (13%). The wage packet depended on the speed and accuracy of the child workers and ranged from Rs.1000-3000 per month. They worked for 8-10 hours a day and were not entitled to any sick/casual leave, etc. Schooling facilities in the diamond zone were satisfactory, but 47% of the total school age children were not getting formal education due to their poor family background. Measures such as land redistribution, substantial increase in minimum wages, delegating powers to local level self-governing bodies, and involvement of community leaders should be implemented with full political will to combat child labour. 8 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009
