Abstract : The present study on child labour in the knitwear industry of Tiruppur (Tamil Nadu) seeks to understand the problem of child labour in the context of the Child Labour (Prohibition & Regulation Act 1986). Survey covered 982 households spread across 9 location in and around Tiruppur Town. This total comprised 638 child labour households and 344 non child labour households. The study goes against the thesis of positive correlation between poverty and incidence of child labour. Traditional understanding of child labour in terms of household literacy status and household size was also contradicted in the study. Higher levels of household literacy do not always guarantee greater chances for children to attend schools. The incidence of child labour was relatively higher among the migrant households (67%) as compared to natives (62%). It was found that child labour households had more literates than the non child labour households, though the population in general had low educational status. Nearly 33.3% of the population was unlettered, 45% had primary level education and only 6% of the population was educated upto secondary level. 28.2% households had an annual income in the range of Rs.20,000 to Rs.30,000, 22.1% had an annual income in the range of Rs.10,000 to Rs.20,000 and only 3% of the households had an annual income less than Rs.10,000. It was found that 163 and 170 child labour households received 30-40% and 20-30% contribution to the family income respectively from their children. About 81% of the male child labour and 84% of the female child labour were working in the knitwear industry, 10% of the child labour were engaged in weaving, and the remaining were engaged in other occupations. In 1995, Tiruppur Exporters Association (TEA) had decided that no member should employ child labour, and no children were employed in export units. But in the unorganized sector producing goods for local markets, where the competition was severe, children were employed on low wages. Parents considered children’s education to be futile. They wanted their children to start work from 51 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009

A skilled worker could earn between Rs.150 to Rs.200 in a day during the peak season and at least Rs.100 during the lean season. Coimbatore Child Labour Abolition Support Society (CCLASS), formed in 1998, has 80 special school centres in the district which cater to about 2020 students. They could successfully send 534 children into mainstream schools for education. The society tried to increase awareness about the problem of child labour through village level meetings, workshops, rallies, etc. It was recommended that the State should realize the growing importance of its regulatory role.
