The Union Government Ban on Child Labour and its Links to Tourism
The Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India, issued a notification amending the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986 on 1st August 2006. The Amendment makes the employment of children below 14 years as domestic servants or in the hospitality sector a punishable offence. This paper provides a review of the Amendment and its objective. Although supporting the Amendment, EQUATIONS raises concerns on inadequate rehabilitation mechanisms for children and the lack of attention to how the Amendment will be implemented.
