These children are rural migrants from Madhya Pradesh performing acrobats in Delhi Roadside

Nearly 90% (in my view) of child laborers are rural children who migrate to cities and end up begging, prostitution, domestic helpers, or other odd jobs. Child labour issue can not be dealt until and unless concerned organizations 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. Why child goes to work? This situation is most urgent to be taken care!!! Child goes to work only when parents allow. And why parents seek own child's support to sustain home economy? This is what in my opinion Governments need to understand and bring policies in accordance. http://www.sadashivan.com/
