Abstract : Child labour in India is the highest in the world with 5.5 per cent of the total child population working as child labour. Unemployment, poverty and indebtedness of children’s parents, illiteracy and ignorance are the main factors that induce children to take up employment at a tender age in developing countries. The cheap availability of child labour is also a major factor for employing children. The widespread existence of child labour has been viewed by the Government with concern. The exploitation of children continues unabated despite several guarantees and laws. The involvement of panchayats for elimination of child labour in hazardous industries has proven successful. Compulsory and free primary education along with vocational training could go a long way in helping children to acquire proper skills. The main aim of the study was to study the difference between the socio-economic and living conditions of migrant and non-migrant child labour engaged in hotels and restaurants in Coimbatore city. The study investigated the situational factors which compelled children to work, the work environment of child labour, and the family background of the child labourers. 50 migrant children and 50 non-migrant children were interviewed. Data was collected through questionnaires and interview schedules. The design adopted in this study was descriptive and diagnostic in nature. It was found that a majority of the respondents (78%) were in the age group of 13-14 years. 80% of the respondents were Hindu and the remaining were either Muslims or Christians. Majority of the respondents (80%) spoke Tamil and the rest spoke Malayalam, Telugu and Urdu. Most of the migrant respondents (78%) came from Ramanathapuram, Madurai and Tirupur. 50% of the migrants and 44% of the non-migrants belonged to backward castes. The educational qualification of most of the respondents (62%) was upto the eighth standard. 76% of the migrant respondents and 64% of the non-migrant respondents belonged to nuclear families. 60% of the migrant respondents owned their houses and 62% of the non-migrants did not own their house. 60% of the migrant respondents lived in accommodation provided by their employer, while 70% of the non-migrant respondents stayed outside the hotel. 50% of the 45 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009
46 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009 Hotel Industry migrant respondents stayed with their friends and 70% of the non-migrant respondents stayed with their parents. 48% of the migrant respondents and 34% of the non-migrant respondents took up work under their parents’ compulsion, 34% of the migrant respondents and 12% of the non-migrant respondents joined work to earn more money, and the remaining respondents worked without any specific reason. 40% of the migrants had been working for a period of above 12 months in the present job, 52% of the non-migrant respondents were working between 6-12 months. The mean duration of service in the present job was nine months. 50% of the migrant respondents went to their native place once a year. Most the respondents (52%) had a monthly income between Rs. 300-500 per month and the mean income was Rs. 426 per month. 50% of the respondents spent their income for maintaining their families. 48% of the non-migrant respondents spent the money for paying debts. 44% of the migrant respondents sent 66.7% of their total monthly income to their families, and 64% of the non-migrant respondents sent their full monthly income to their families. 60% of the migrant respondents and an equal percentage of the non-migrant respondents went to the work place walking, while the remaining respondents went by cycle and bus. 42% of the migrant and 54% of the non-migrant children had no problem at the work place, while 29% of the migrants and 46% of the non-migrant children had problems. 58% of the migrant children preferred to stay in the same job, while 76% of the non-migrant children preferred to take up some other job. The majority of the respondents (60% migrants, 96% non-migrants) had plans about their future. The study recommended that the Government should enact new special legislation to eradicate child labour, and promote family planning measures in the country to counter the population explosion. Employers who exploit child labour should be punished. The Government should ensure that child labourers have good working conditions and receive high wages. Parents should also take care of their children’s physical, mental and spiritual development. The public should also come forward and act together with the Government to eradicate child labour from our country, as the Government alone cannot deal with the problem of child labour.
