Child Labour, Exploitation, Policy, Supreme Court Judgements on Child LabourAbstract
The issue of child labour has been a persistent thorn in India’s growth story. Despite the existence of several national and international level legislations pertaining to this issue, completely eradicating the practice of employing child labour has been a difficult and arduous task. This policy paper attempts to explore the reasons behind the persistence of this issue, analyse the adverse impacts on children engulfed in this practice and further suggest some policy-based solutions to this issue by looking at the impact of landmark court cases.
