To show natural interest on the part of India is but natural because India is a welfare state by its nature and moreover it is a staunch member of ILO from its Inception.

Purpose This study on spatial analysis of child labour in India is a macro level analysis on child labour using the census data, 2011 of Government of India. The population census which is conducted once in 10 years only provides district level data on work-force distribution. The study has spatial analysis of child labour in the age group of 5–14 years in India. To assess the magnitude of the children in the labour force, district level data of Census 2011 has been used in the study. The study has made an attempt to identify the districts where there is high level of children in the labour force. This paper aims to estimate the magnitude and trends of children’s workforce participation using the census data as it is the only data base, which is available at the district level since 1961 onwards. The study has made an attempt to identify the clustering of child labour across districts in India and how child labour is clustered by different background characteristics. Design/methodology/approach The study has used ArcGIS software package, GeoDa software and local indicator of spatial association test. Findings The findings of study reveal that the proportion of rural, total fertility rate (TFR) and poverty headcount ratio is positively associated, whereas female literacy and the pupil-teacher ratio are negatively associated with child labour. It suggests that in the hot-spot areas and areas where there is a high prevalence of child labour, there is need to increase the teacher's number at the school level to improve the teacher-pupil ratio and also suggested to promote the female education, promote family planning practices to reduce TFR in those areas for reducing the incidences of child labour. Research limitations/implications The study also recommends that the incidences of child labour can be controlled by a comprehensive holistic action plan with the active participation of social workers. Practical implications The promulgation of effective legislation, active involvement of judiciary and police, political will, effective poverty alleviation and income generation programmes, sensitisation of parents, corporates and media can play effective role in mitigating the incidences of child labour in India. To achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by world leaders in 2015 to eradicate child labour in all its forms by 2025. Social implications The study aims to achieve the SDGs adopted by world leaders in 2015 to eradicate child labour in all its forms by 2025. Originality/value The study is purely original and there are no such studies in Indian context by using the latest software.
Child labour is a major social problem that contributes to poor physical health and lower educational achievement. Professor Alberto Posso (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) worked with Professor Simon Feeny (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology), Dr Ahmed Skali (University of Groningen), Professor Amalendu Jyotishi (Azim Premji University), Dr Shyam Nath (Amrita University) and Dr P. K. Viswanathan (Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham) to address important gaps in the literature by conducting a large-scale study of children in rural areas of India. This work confirms the hugely negative impact of child labour on psychosocial well-being and opens up important implications for policy, practice and future research.

In this paper, I examine child labour and schooling in Tanzania. I use Tanzania Labour Force Survey data containing detailed information on children aged 5–17. I find that girls are more likely to do household chores and spend more hours on household chores than boys. On the other hand, boys are more likely to do activities for pay, profit or home use and spend more hours on economic activities than girls. I also find a positive and statistically significant relationship between the number of children below 5 years (preschoolers) and the time children aged 5–17 years spend on household chores, suggesting that the latter may be spending more time caring for the former. Furthermore, I find a negative and statistically significant relationship between asset ownership and child labour. Concerning child labour and the educational performance of the children, I find that children who were engaged in household duties or economic activities, children who did any activities for pay, profit or home use and those who spent more hours on household chores are more likely to perceive that they get poor grades at school because of work. Regarding potential pathways, time spent by the children on economic activities, household chores and working in any activities for pay, profit or home use are found to affect the children's regular school attendance or studies.
Child laboir is universal phenomenon. While there is no accurate accounting of how many of the world‟s children contribute to their families or their own economic support, the number of working children is surely in the hundreds of millions globally.With the advent of modern industrial system there came a tendency among the employers to earn easy and quick profits at less expenses. That is why, the employment of children in factories at low rate of remuneration became the frequent practice. They had to work for excessive hours under unhealthy, terrible and hazardous conditions. Child labour is both an economic and social problem. The term child labour brings before the eyes, picture of exploitation of little, weak, tender and underdeveloped bodies, illiteracy, physical abuse in the term of beatings by employers and accident often fatal at work sites. The problem with child labour is that it can hardly be legislated away as its roots lie in abject poverty . Where social and economic condition have improved children go to school and child labour for virtually disappeared. So any society which wants its children to be free to learn and play, first free entire population from fear of wants. This means ensuring basic human needs of all people .
