There is so much child labour in India, which is equal to the number of unemployed adults, so why can't we just have policies to switch the two and send these children to be educated.

Child Labour in Historical Perspective, 1800-1985 (Florence, 1996) is an introductory overview, appropriately sponsored by UNICEF; and from the International Labour Office, Combatting Child Labour (Geneva, 1988). |
