摘要：Child labour is a complex problem basically rooted in poverty. The Government of India
has formulated policies since the economic reforms of the early 1990s. Children under
fourteen comprise 3.6 per cent of the total labour force in India. Nearly eighty-five per
cent are engaged in the traditional agricultural sector, less than nine per cent in
manufacturing, services and repairs and only about 0.8 per cent are in factories. The
elimination of child labour is a priority and is being implemented at the grass roots level
in India. A large number of non-governmental and voluntary organizations are involved
in this process along with national and international organisations. This paper reviews
the child labour situation in India and analyses the effect of globalisation on child labour.
