Description
A quick assessment and analysis of the situation points towards various factors contributing to child labor. Apart from the socio-cultural factors, the women narrated a few practical issues too. When a child is born, the elder one stops schooling so as to take care of the sibling because mother cannot afford not to go for work. Once the sibling is old enough to go to school, the girl is alone at home. And the mother is not confident of letting the girl stay alone at home. Thus the girl child too is taken to the processing unit. She would not be formally employed by the unit, but starts ‘helping’ the mother. In effect, it turns out to be child labor, and it brings additional income too. They have already started initiatives to overcome the issue of child labor. However, they would like to address the issue on a long-term basis.
