Even NGO’s and prominent individuals can not help eradication this issue until and unless they influence appropriate Governments to reevaluate the economic policies and rural economic growth. Till now rural economy is only known as agricultural economy and never emphasized on add-on value products. Governments have to consider growing and generating rural employment. Target set for 2015 to eradicate poverty may not be achieved until we understand roots and real causes of poverty. http://www.sadashivan.com/quotpovertyquot asubject/90% of child laborers are rural children who migrate to cities and end up begging, prostitution, domestic helpers, or other odd jobs.

The United States Government is failing to protect child farmworkers
2007-04-10 20:13:00 Hundreds of thousands of children work under dangerous and grueling conditions as hired laborers in US agriculture. These children risk serious illness, including cancer and brain damage, from exposure to pesticides, and suffer high rates of injury. They routinely work twelve hours a day, six or seven days a week, for little pay Under existing US law, child farmworkers can work at younger ages, for longer hours, and under more hazardous conditions than children in other jobs. Even limited protections in existing law are not adequately enforced.

Indian Bishops Targeting Child Labor
2007-04-10 18:48:00 NEW DELHI, India , JUNE 13, 2006 (Zenit.org).- India's Catholic episcopate has made a number of proposals to stop the scourge of child labor, which involves more than 100 million children in the subcontinent.

Anti-Corporate Globalization Campaign
2007-04-10 18:41:00 Christmas Toys and Child Labor: Anti-Global ization Campaign - Grand Rapids, Michigan December 2003 It's Christmas time of year here in the United States which means Americans will be spending billions of dollars on toys. One of the ugliest aspects of globalization is that the plastic playthings Americans buy for their children are often made by third world children working in sweatshop conditions. Over 50 percent of all toys sold by Wal-Mart, Mattel, Hasbro, Disney and Toys R Us are made In China. ¿Made in China¿ often means made by children working in unsafe environments for exploitative wages. During the "busy season" in China, three million toy workers¿ mostly young women¿ will be locked inside 2,800 factories. They will be forced to work 15 hours a day, seven days a week, thirty days a month, handling toxic chemicals with their bare hands, while they are paid wages as low as 12 cents an hour making toys for our holiday season. http://www.mediamouse.org/corporate/chris ...
