Study on origin, development and condition of Indian police; with special references of Uttar Pradesh, India.

This work examines the developments in the campaign against child labour and the defence of the rights of children.

This important book seeks to answer fundamental questions about child labour’s economic causes, the working conditions children endure, implications of their labour for the economic outlook of the countries concerned, and actions and policies to combat it.

Comprehensive and timely, this essential book provides a wealth of practical information on planning and carrying out action against child labor. Offering an array of effective strategies, instruments, methodologies, and information, it stresses a multi-pronged approach to combating child labor on several fronts: economic, educational, social, and cultural. It provides striking examples of effective legislation, policies, programs, and projects, and offers step-by-step guidelines for their precise implementation. Action Against Child Labor examines in depth the vital functions of national policies and programs against child labor, while providing valuable insight on developing and improving existing policy, setting priorities for action, capacity building, and creating social alliances. In addition, it spotlights ways to improve the knowledge base on child labor, provides technical and practical guidelines for designing and conducting surveys, and offers insights on obtaining information on children. Compiled by an array of child labor experts, this invaluable resource will help governments, employers' and workers' organizations, and NGOs contribute to eliminating child labor.

In its quadrennial Global Report on child labour, the ILO says that the global number of child labourers had declined from 222 million to 215 million, or 3 per cent, over the period 2004 to 2008, representing a "slowing down of the global pace of reduction." The report also expresses concern that the global economic crisis could "further brake" progress toward the goal of eliminating the worst forms of child labour by 2016.

The aim of this bibliography on child labour was to assemble the best of the rapidly increasing literature and research material in recent years and make it accessible. The focus is from 1995 to 2002 although a few authoritative earlier sources have been included. Three basic selection criteria were applied: the material had to be considered representative; relevant and to present sources that had been previously overlooked.
