Research Abstracts on Child Labour and Women Labour 1998 – 2009 2010 Documentation Centre for Women and Children National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development 5, Siri Institutional Area, Hauz Khas, New Delhi – 110016 Number of Copies: 100 Copyright: National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development, 2010 Project Team Guidance and Support : Dr. Sulochana Vasudevan Project In-Charge : Meenakshi Sood Abstracting : Dr. Prekshi Computer Assistance : Pawan Kumar Foreword Research on women and children reveals that there are several areas which require the attention of planners and programme implementers. Policy decisions based on research findings are rooted in ground reality, and therefore have the capacity to bring about tangible improvement in the situation, whether it is with regard to nutritional status, health practices, income generation, domestic violence or rights of women and children. Research on social issues in India is being conducted by a plethora of organisations, namely research institutes, government ministries and departments, autonomous organisations, home science colleges, social work departments of universities, medical colleges, international and national voluntary organisations. As research is a vital input for development, planners, administrators and researchers are on the look out for social factors which have the potential to impact the outcomes of various government programmes. With this aim in view, the Documentation Centre for Women and Children (DCWC) of the Institute is engaged in the process of collecting and documenting valuable research in the areas of women and children. DCWC collects research findings from many widely scattered sources for the use of researchers. Hence this project was undertaken to bring out compilations of research abstracts on various areas for the benefit of users. “Research Abstracts on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour, 1998-2009” has been compiled to present widely scattered research in a compact form, and assist in making encapsulated information and recommendations of research available to planners, programme implementers and researchers. Research studies conducted by various organisations during the period 1998 to 2009 have been summarised on various subjects such as various industries (brass, brick kiln, carpet, construction, diamond, hotel, hosiery, leather, glass, etc.), abuse of working children, education of child labour, elimination of child labour, health hazardous, substance abuse, evaluation of National Child Labour Projects, domestic workers and ragpickers, and working conditions of workers in various industries including the unorganized sector, etc. It is hoped that this document would be of immense value to all stakeholders working for the survival, development and empowerment of women and children. It would not have been possible to bring out this document without the cooperation of various organisations who have very kindly shared their research studies with NIPCCD. I wish to place on record my appreciation of the efforts put in by the staff of DCWC specially Smt. Meenakshi Sood, Deputy Director, and Dr. Sulochana Vasudevan, Joint Director (WD) for overall guidance and support in completion of this project.
