About the Book
The book is a situational
analysis of child labour in the sericulture sector based on MAYA's
experience in the talukas of Ramanagaram and Channapatna. It highlights
the prevalence of child labour in the sericulture industry in Karnataka, which
was intended to improve economic & social growth in the regions
where it was promoted. It also exposes the myth that child labour
exists primarily as a result of economic poverty and shows that it is perpetuated
because of several social factors that have a direct bearing on life-processses
of people.
