The estimates presented in the ILO Report, 2012, indicate that 168 million children worldwide are in child labour. India has possibly the largest child labour force in the world. The problem of child labour has drawn considerable public and policy attention. Concurrent with the rise in public interest, awareness and activism, is a booming theoretical literature and empirical research. Mumbai being a centre for several migratory processes, throws many small children into the labour market. To further boost the movement against child labour in Mumbai, this conference seeks to bring the academic community and interventionists together to debate the way forward for grassroots action against child labour.
