In view of the Act and better social awareness, there has been a significant drop in the participation of children in the labourforce overtheyears. Those within the labourforce include all those engaged in economic activities or workers1 and those seeking/available for work or unemployed. Those outside the labour force are grouped into three major categories: (i) those attending educational institutions (students), (ii) those engaged in domestic duties in their own homes, and (iii) other non-working categories such as pensioners, renters, remittance recipients, those engaged in unsanctioned activities (e.g., begging, prostitution) and those unable to work (e.g., too young, too old, disabled).
