    10 facts you must know about child labour in India on Anti Child Labour Day
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2018-06) Moitra, Soha

The sight has been growing on us slowly but surely to the extent that we have accepted the situation as ‘normal’ in India.

    In Shattered Post-Lockdown Economy, Govt Must Keep a Strict Eye on Child Labour
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-06-16) Mahara, Priti; Sapkal, Rahul
    According to estimates by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the world economy is projected to shrink by 3.2% this year. The estimates also state that GDP in developed countries is likely to shrink by five percent, while that of developing countries will contract by around 0.7% in 2020. Massive job losses will push an additional 34.3 million people into extreme poverty by the end of this year.

    A pandemic cannot justify child labour
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-08-25) Marwaha, Puja
    For the past five months, our screens have been flooded with distressing imagery of one catastrophe after another: From the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable communities, to cyclones in West Bengal, Odisha, and Maharashtra. From locust attacks in the central and northwestern plains, to the floods in Assam and Bihar. All of these have had disastrous effects on the Indian economy—millions in the country lost their jobs or were forced to take pay cuts, economic activity in rural India came to a halt, and migrants were forced to walk hundreds of kilometres back home. Amidst these ‘visible’ problems, there are other issues that have remained ‘invisible’. One such issue is the effect of the pandemic on children, specifically, an increased risk of child labour.
