    Legal Analysis of Schedule Containing the List of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous occupati ons and Processes of the Child & Adolescent Labour (Prohibiti on and Regulati on) Act, 1986
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020-10) Sapkal, Rahul; Ghosh, Shreya; Mahara, Priti
    This report examines the evolution and emerging trends in the child labour legislation in India after its enactment. It aims to study and provide a comprehensive overview of the policy making process that delineates hazardous and non-hazardous processes and occupations through a detailed examination of Environmental Protection Act, 1986 and the Factories Act, 1948. It also discusses and builds a case for giving preference to the Environment Protection Act, 1986 Act while preparing the schedule for listing hazardous and non-hazardous processes and occupations in the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, instead of Factories Act, 1948. It further discusses the issues related to departmental convergence, decision-making, enforcement process at the ground level and suggests policy reforms at the macro level. On the basis of the discussions it suggests a plausible policy method for identifying and classifying work under hazardous and non-hazardous occupations from the perspective of children. The last section of the report provides a comprehensive overview of segmented working conditions as documented in various policy briefs, reports and academic literature.
