41 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009 Glass Industry labour surveyed, 91% had attended school while 9% had never been to school. The dropout rate was as high as 40%. Efforts made by the Government to eliminate child labour had mainly been execution of an enforcement drive, bringing out 1644 children from factories. To initiate the rehabilitation package, 67 special schools under the National Child Labour Projects (NCLP) have been opened to provide education to children. This initiative has made little change in the life of child labourers, particularly in the area of education. Realizing the negative impact of the enforcement drive on socio-economic pattern, the Government officials want to go slow. Attempts by the Government machinery to implement the rehabilitation package in terms of providing jobs or loans to one adult from the child labour family is not visible. 58% parents were apprehensive that withdrawal of child labour from home based industry would affect their economic status as between 8-25% of the family income was brought in by children. It is suggested that concerted efforts of all key players is necessary to bring about a change which would result in sustainable improvement in the lives of child labourers. Awareness building and sensitization is required to gradually remove child labour. Providing alternative skills/ business opportunities/ choices during slack season is likely to help in enhancing family income.

Papers based on field research and surveys were presented by different scholars at the workshop. This study is the collection of these papers based on child labour working in carpet, glass, diamond, gem, mosaic chips and limestone industries. Analysis of survey findings revealed that most of the industries engaged child labour because children were less aware of and able to act on their rights, more willing to take orders, work without complaining, were less troublesome and more trustworthy (gem and diamond industry). Children were generally found to be absent less often and were less likely to get drunk. Child labour also depressed the wage rate by increasing labour supply. Results revealed that the maximum number of child workers were engaged in the carpet industry numbering about 115,000 and the minimum number were in limestone industry, estimated at about 3,000. Most of the industries covered had complex production structures with work often divided into many separate activities. <strong>Research</strong>ers estimated that the elimination of child labour would cause only a small increase in the cost of production, almost below 5%, but this cost was large for informal sector employers who directly hired children. Due to occupational and work place stresses the health of child labourers was generally poor. The study recommended that comprehensive approach implemented through the community may be adopted to eliminate child labour. Product boycotts were not appreciated as they would only harm poor families and place them at even greater risk situations. Half time school and half time work arrangement was also recommended so that children who were compelled to work due to their life situation were not deprived of their right to education and full development. 42 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009
