Small Hands in South Asia: Child Labour in Perspective

This volume contains papers on the extent of child labour in South Asia (and the spread across regions and sectos), its correlation with education, some of the worst forms of child labour, and best practices. The papers are a good mix of social anthropology, economics and political science approaches. The expertise of the contributors and their concern for what continues to be a stark reality in South Asia makes this book an invaluable source of reference on the issues of child labour, academically rigorous and politically relevant.
