SPECIAL ARTICLE

Child Labour in India *Akanksha Agarwal

Abstract

According to UNICEF India has the highest population of child labour in the world. Through this paper the author has attempted to scale the pattern and magnitude of child labour in India by extracting the unit level data of 66th round of employment unemployment data. The paper also cited some evidences showing NSSO data is not sufficient to capture the real scenario of the child labour in India and suggested to design a national level survey exclusively devoted to investigate the characteristics of child labour in India so that a policy towards the elimination of child labour can be given a proper direction.

Introduction and Literature Review Child Labour is a pure violation of a huge range of rights of children that has been dominating labour market all across the world since the inception of industrial revolution. Although legislations across the world now consider this practice exploitative and prohibitive, many developing countries owing to high poverty and poor schooling opportunities still demonstrate numerous cases of child labour. India is a no exception in this case where basic rights of many children are seen being snatched away commonly on streets, restaurants, agricultural fields or perhaps every nook and corner that can be associated with the labour work. Globally around 21.5 crore children are target of child labour ("Facts on child labour", 2010 by International Labour Organization) under the age of 18 while India contributes more than 2% share in world's child labour almost equal to its present contribution in world's GDP(1.67%). The ILO‘s International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) was created in 1992 with the overall goal of the progressive elimination of child labour, which was to be achieved through strengthening the capacity of countries to deal with the problem and promoting a worldwide movement to combat child labour. According to UNICEF (UNICEF, Children‘s Issues – Picture in India, at http://www.unicef.org/india/children.html. Figure taken from the 2001 Census.) India has the highest population of child labour in the world. In India, Prohibition of child labour comes under the ambit Of Child Labour (Prohibition and regulation) Act, 1986 which got a nod from the cabinet to get amended to Child and Adolescent Labour(Protection Act). This will expand the ambit of child labour from only hazardous processes and occupation to any kind of work done by a child who is below 14 years of age except the work done to help the own household after the school hours. This law will benefit approximately 43 lakh children according to 66th round of employment unemployment survey conducted by NSSO in 2009-2010. There is an enormous range of researches specific to an industry related to child labour in the form of case studies. Use of child labour in the carpet industry-Analysis from an economic perspective and Child Labour in India-A case study of the glass bangle Industry of Ferozebad, Uttar Pradesh are industry specific case studied by Barge, Sandhya, Shahid Ashraf, Seema Kumber, Vijay Utekar and Girish Kumar(1993) supported by ILO.

of child Labour in Korapur district and related issues in education at Primary stage: A case study by Dr Nilyandara Pradhan, Dr Rahi Narayan Mishra, Mrs K Anuradha, Study of Child Labor Among School Children in Urban and Rural Areas of Pondicherry(2008) by Kdevi and Gautam Roy are some of the very specific case studies done on child labour. The Overcoming of Child Labour in India: In Perspective of Constitutional and Legislative Framework(2012) by Hasnaim Ali, Member and Mr. Samsuddin Khan tabulated andpresented various facts and data from authentic sources in respective sections. Enforcing Ban on Child Labour in India: A Socio Legal Perspective by Dr. Alaka Mishra demonstrates the problem faced by authorities to tackle child labour in unorganized sector. Child labour and poverty : the nexus(2001) by Suman Chandra accuses poverty as the main cause of the child labour, Child labour : situation and strategies for elimination (2007), by SekarHelen R. highlights elimination strategies of child labour in India. In the name of child labour: eradication and evaluation programme (2002) by Zutshi, Bupinder et al. cites evidence that magnitude of child labour in India is under-estimated due Elimination of Child Labour to inadequate and unreliable data. Despite the concern, "child labour" grabs across the world, there is no platform, giving a comprehensive compilation of data related to child labour in India. Besides Census or NSSO which gives an bird eye view on the problem of child labour, there is no survey devised exclusively to ascertain the pattern of child labour in India.

Need

Child labour is one of the most powerful vehicle that transmits poverty across generations. "Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear" (Nelson Mandela). As 2015 deadline for the international development goals is imminent, it is a high time for governments around the world to intensify their ambition to combat the problem of child labour. This is the well accepted reality that any policy review needs elaborative statistics to map the scale of any problem. Employment Unemployment Survey conducted by NSSO is a comprehensive and well accepted survey on employment. In this paper an earnest endeavour has been made to provide Information on the scale, extent and pattern of child labour in India using 66th round of the employment unemployment survey of NSSO.

Last part of the paper cites evidences to support that NSSO data is not enough to capture the real picture of child labour existing in India and hence urge to develop a more sophisticated survey exclusively for the correct investigation of the existing problem of child labour in India. Methodology

There are two broad criteria to define child labour. First is on the basis of age and economic activity. Other is on the basis of current attendance status in the school. In this article definition by Factories Act is taken into account which is the most understandable definition by a common man i.e. “A person below the age of 14 years is to be regarded as child. Therefore any physical labour undertaken by a child either under compulsion or voluntarily in organized or unorganized sector qualifies to be called as child labour‖. Here it has been


1101

assumed that there is no child working under the age of 5 years. NSSO unit level data has been used to extract the children in the age group(5-14) who are working according to their usual status i.e. working either in principal status or in subsidiary status, to ascertain whether the child is in workforce or not. It is to be mentioned that all the age group intervals used in this paper are inclusive at both ends. Those in labour force according to their usual status are also extracted. The difference will tell the number of children who are not employed but seeking some form of work. MS Access has been used to extract the data and further tabulations are done in Ms excel.

Tables and Results

Following is a table showing typical profile of a child worker and his/her household in India. Proportion in work force is the percent of children aged(5-14) of the total work force of the country. The data clearly indicates the well known fact that the problem of child labour is more prevalent in rural India.

Child Work participation Rate is the total of children employed per 1000 of the total

number of children in the country.

Child Labour Force Participation is the total number of children employed as well as seeking any kind of employment per 1000 of the total children in India.

The union territories and the north eastern states shows an impressive figures on child labour. All the states having high incidence of child labour boast of high GDP share in the nation. This rekindles the very question on ability of GDP to assess human development along with economic development.

Child labour takes many forms. Agriculture is by far the largest sector employing children, Some 60 lakh children are involved with 2 lakh of them under the age of 9 years. This is a more serious issue that children below the age of 9 are employed in some of the industries which are under hazardous category.

No case of child labour in some of the industries is digestible except in mining and quarrying. Although according to a law enacted in 1952, prohibiting employment of children in the mines, there are numerous reports even in international media giving evidences of the stark reality in the form of pictures of the children toiling in the mines. "Child Labour in the Diamond Industry", International Labour Organization. pp. 51–53. Ban"., The New York Times. Retrieved February 26, 2013, "We have very good laws in this country, it’s our implementation that’s the problem." , Vandhana Kandhari, a child protection specialist at Unicef. This really demands an exhaustive survey to capture child labour in India as NSSO surveys are not designed to serve this purpose in particular. India being a member of ILO can take assistance from Statistical Information and Monitoring Programme on Child Labour (SIMPOC), which is the statistical arm of IPEC. SIMPOC assists countries in the collection, documentation, processing and analysis of child labour relevant data.

79% of children aged between 5 years to 9 years among all are involved in some economic activity in their household while 21% are in some another household that generally employs children to do domestic work.

Following the discussion about no reporting of child labour incidence in Mining sector besides exposure by international media, there are many more evidences that may be sufficient to think for a exclusive survey devoted to assessment of child labour.

Now and then there are cases of exploitations of minor domestic helps in the media but where are they in the official statistics remains a big question of concern. The more stark reality is that it's been observed that bonded labour still prevails in many sections of India. There are many incidence of child labour cited in a working paper ‗Bonded Labour in India: its Incidence and Pattern’ by Ravi S. Srivastava and there are uncountable such incidents finding place in media almost daily. The bonded labour being an illegal practice is unlikely to be reported in NSSO survey. It again calls out for a more sophisticated survey to catch all the issues related to child labour. Also according to the NSS survey there are 11% of children in the age group (5-14) who have never attended school or have discontinued the school for some reasons and there are 2% children in the same age group who are engaged in some or the other economic activity. This wide gap may indicate serious under reporting of the child labour cases in the present official statistics system. Conclusion and further research scope

"we worry what a child will become tomorrow yet we forget he is someone today"

-Stacia Taucher

Before arriving at any policy initiative it is imperative to assess the present scenario of

child labour which is possible only by a nation vide survey exclusively devoted to child labour. Keeping in mind the available surveys conducted in India, NSSO is perhaps the most comprehensive large scale survey to scale the pattern of child labour in India. The analysis on the same line based on 68th round of employment unemployment survey of NSSO and comparison of two rounds will give better insight into the development and success in combating child labour. Getting an overview of the child labour in India is the only purpose that can be solved from NSSO data or census reports. Formulation of country wide survey technique exclusively devoted to assess the pattern of child labour from various angles is what the need of the hour is.

NEWS IN BRIEF

(a) INDIAN LABOUR The news items reported below have been gleaned from various official and unofficial

Hope Floats in Sinking Job Market - Even though large swathes of the job market remain subdued in the backdrop of a rapidly deteriorating economic environment, a few roles are witnessing brisk hiring interest, head hunters said. Management consultants, CFOs with strong global fund raising skill sets, sales professionals in the IT sector, corporate restructuring experts, strategic sourcing heads and senior managers with experience in Europe are among the roles that are now in demand, an ET survey of 7 recruitment and headhunting firms including Korn/ Ferry International, EMA Partners, Odgers Berndtson and Randstad India has found. The big 4 (KPMG, Deloitte, PwC and E&Y) have vacancies in their advisory business and need management consultants at partner level, said Navnit Singh, chairman and regional managing director India for Korn/Ferry International. A partner in the initial level could draw a salary upwards of Rs.80 lakh. Korn/Ferry International has also noticed IT majors rapidly stepping up hiring of sales professionals. The funnel is opening and US economy has picked up in last few months. Technology firms need specialists who can clinch business from clients side, said Singh. Headhunting firm Odgers Berndtson has mandates to scout for business development officers and operations heads for other geographies, especially Europe. Our Indian clients want to make sure they are well hedged in case domestic markets do not improve. We also have mandates for functional and operations heads for Europe, which is expected to improve soon, said Alasdair Spink, managing partner for Odgers Berndtson in India.

Bihar, U.P. will Form Workforce of the Future - The workforce of the future will come from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, with developed States like Kerala and Tamil Nadu hitting — or even bypassing — their peaks, new census data shows. Two simultaneous and opposing processes are going on in India, the ‗single year age data‘ released by the office of the Census Commissioner reveals. On the one hand, States like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh have witnessed a fall in their absolute child population under the age of 14. ―This was to be expected as the reduction in female fertility that began in the 70s in the southern States begins to have an impact,‖ said P. Arokiasamy, demographer and Professor in the Department of Development Studies at the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS). With the share of these States — and that of other States like Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Uttarakhand that have had only small increases in child population — in the total child population falling, the share of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, that still have high fertility, has risen sharply. One in every three children under the age of 14 in India comes from Bihar or Uttar Pradesh. While India as a whole has 31 per cent of its population under the age of 14, the corresponding number for U.P. is 35.69 per cent and an astounding 40.1 per cent for Bihar; four out of every 10 people in Bihar is under the age of 14. This is the highest such proportion for any State; it is possibly even the world‘s highest, according to Mr. Arokiasamy. Simultaneously, developed States are reaching their peak working age populations, and are ageing faster than the rest of the country. Tamil Nadu currently has the highest proportion of its people in the working age population — two out of three residents of the State are between the ages of 15 and 59. Seen together, the two processes imply that today‘s children, who come overwhelmingly from U.P. and Bihar, will form the workforce of the future. This has major implications for State and Centre policy. For one, it means that northern States will have to spend more on school education, while southern States can begin to focus more on quality, Mr. Arokiasamy says.

(The Hindu, 08.09.2013) Calls for Social Security Measures in Contract Employment Get Louder - Pink slips have triggered panic across all industry verticals in the country with the chorus for incorporating social security measures in contract employment getting louder. As per the latest survey of


1112

National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), around 13.9 million people got employed in 2011-12 of which a majority of jobs created was of low quality and in unorganised sector with little or no economic or social security and benefits. In a bid to generate formal employment, especially in the manufacturing sector, an internal study conducted by Export-Import Bank of India titled ‗Comparison of Labour Laws: Select Countries‘ suggested that the country needs to encourage contract employment, with adequate safeguard measures which include provisions of social security measures. The study has undertaken a comparative analysis of labour laws in 20 countries including in France, Germany, Russia, UK, Brazil, US, Kenya, South Africa, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thiland and Vietnam. According to the study, the Indian Trade Union Act was enacted in the colonial period, during which the focus was on industrial development, which is different from what is being propagated now. The study said that outdated labour laws are principal reasons for declining employment potential in India. While the labour regulations in India are made with the objective of protecting the interests of employees, they give a sense of neglecting the interest of employers who are investors. Inflexible labour market is one of the factors that hinder large-scale investments, technology absorption, productivity enhancement and high employment growth in the country, the study said. The Indian Staffing Federation (ISF), an apex body of flexi staffing industry in India comprising of about 30 members from the staffing industry and representing over 4,00,000 temporary staff, said flexi staffing is the need of the hour. According to ISF, flexi-staffing is a great enabler of decent work. In its absence, workers are forced to work either in the informal sector or as casual workers in the formal sector sans social benefits and access to training.

(The Financial Express, 14.09.2013) Salary Cap Raised for Availing ESI Benefits - The government has expanded the number of people eligible for Employees‘ State Insurance (ESI), which provides medical care to industrial workers and their dependents, by increasing the salary cap of beneficiaries to Rs. 25,000 from Rs. 15,000, ignoring opposition from employers. The revision in the ceiling means that all industrial workers who draw a salary of up to Rs.25,000 will benefit from medical and hospitalization facilities at more than 1,550 clinics and hospitals that the Employees‘ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) runs directly or has a tie-up with. Every month, eligible employees contribute 1.75% of their salary and employers contribute 4.75% to the ESI corpus. The last increase in the salary ceiling for ESI was made in May 2010, when it was raised to Rs.15,000 from Rs.10,000. Currently, around 15 million workers directly benefit from the employees‘ insurance provisions, and after the revision, the total number of insured people will increase to 20 million. If one includes beneficiaries from the families of the insured workers, at least 65 million people, largely in urban areas, will benefit from the scheme. While the government believes that the decision was made to widen the social security safety net, experts and an employers‘ association said that the move was populist in nature, keeping in mind the impending Lok Sabha election next year and state assembly elections in states such as Delhi and Rajasthan this year.

Tata Steel and Tata Workers' Union have signed a memorandum of settlement for payment of annual bonus for 2012-13. The memorandum of settlement was signed on September, 23, 2013. For various divisions at Jamshedpur, including the Tubes Division, the minimum and maximum annual bonus payable for 2012-13 will be Rs 13,311 and Rs 1,43,653 respectively. Incidentally, a majority of the employees of the company are drawing salaries / wages higher than the limit laid down in the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, they are not eligible for bonus under the Act. However, respecting its old traditions, the company will pay bonus to all employees in the unionised category. As per the Memorandum of Settlement, out of Rs 180.5 crore total bonus payout to employees, the company will distribute about Rs 103.6 crore among 17,254 employees of various divisions at Jamshedpur including Tubes Division. Established in 1907 as Asia's first integrated private sector steel company, Tata Steel Group is among the top-ten global steel companies with an annual crude steel capacity of over 29 million tonnes per annum.

Government Announces Seventh Central Pay Commission - The government announced the setting up of the Seventh Central Pay Commission (CPC) ahead of elections, heralding the prospect of salary increases for nearly 80 lakh employees and pensioners, although the actual revisions will take about three years or so and could put finances under strain at the time. "The average time taken by a Pay Commission to submit its recommendations has been about two years. Accordingly, allowing about two years for the 7th CPC to submit its report, the recommendations are likely to be implemented with effect from 1.1.2016," Finance Minister P Chidambaram said in a statement issued by the government. The Sixth Pay Commission came into effect on January 1, 2006. The government constitutes a pay commission almost every decade to revise the pay scales of its employees, who get an inflation-linked dearness allowance twice a year but no salary revisions as in the private sector. State governments usually adopt the recommendations after suitable modifications. Although higher salaries will mean more disposable income in the hands of government employees, the pay commission award could burden government finances and push back the fiscal recovery. Trade unions welcomed the constitution of the commission but demanded that they be set up every five years.

(The Economic Times, 26.09.2013) MGNREGS Not a Permanent Solution - Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh said that the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) was not a permanent solution for providing jobs in rural parts of the country. ―I do not see MGNREGS as a permanent employment generating programme. It is a transition programme for a 20-25 year period in areas where there is a need for distress employment,‖ he said, while inaugurating ‗IDFC Limited‘s India Rural Development Report 2013.‘ The report reviewed all major Central government rural programmes and schemes and, in particular, the flagship rural job scheme. Additionally, the Minister noted that all evidence points to the changing nature of rural employment and a sharp increase in rural non-farm employment. The report reveals that non-farm income sources are increasingly important – 43 per cent of rural families rely on non-farm employment as their major income source. Mr. Ramesh said the government would be bringing out changes in the implementation of the scheme by focusing on creation of durable community assets under the programme. The Minister said the scheme had helped reduce distress migration from States such as Bihar and Odisha to Punjab and Haryana. This had been felt by the Railways as not many passengers had travelled between the two places. According to the report, the scheme has provided an average of 40-50 days of employment per year to about 25 per cent of all rural households making it the largest public works programme in India‘s history. It has helped empower women by providing them employment on equal terms. Women account for almost half the total person days of employment. The scheme has contributed to reducing poverty, both directly as well as indirectly, by putting upward pressure on agricultural wages.

One in Two Working Families Hit by Global Job Losses - As some of the world‘s most powerful leaders prepare to meet in St Petersburg for the G20 Leaders‘ Summit (5-6 September), they will be greeted by the sober news that the majority of their citizens feel let down, according to the results of a major new survey. The ITUC Global Poll 2013, initiated by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), found that public confidence in the handling of the global economic crisis is at low point, most notably when it comes to jobs. About half (49 per cent) of working families have been directly affected by job losses or reduced working hours in the last two years, with as many as 60 per cent of respondents saying that unemployment had badly handled by their government. The finance burden of austerity is also beginning to take its toll. Confidence in the unions was a bright spot with 68 per cent of respondents agreeing with the statement that ―workplaces that have a union representing workers provide better wages, conditions and health and safety for workers.‖ Conducted by global market research company TNS, more than 13,000 people were interviewed in 13 countries – Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, Spain, South Africa, the UK and the USA – representing half of the world‘s population. ITUC General Secretary Sharan Burrow, who is taking part in the Summit, said that leaders need to take urgent action to restore the faith of their citizens. The trade unions, represented by the Labour 20, will present the findings of the Poll along with their priority recommendations to G20 leaders in a consultation meeting during the Summit. The global unions are also calling for governments to adopt stronger labour laws, a renewed commitment to tackling youth unemployment and creating quality jobs, an end to tax evasion and massive investment in green jobs and new infrastructure.

(Equal Times, 04.09.2013) Landmark Treaty for Domestic Workers Comes into Force - The International Labour Organization‘s Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189) comes into force on 5 September 2013, extending basic labour rights to domestic workers around the globe. Currently there are at least 53 million domestic workers worldwide, not including child domestic workers, and this number is increasing steadily in developed and developing countries. The number adds to an estimated 10.5 million children worldwide – most of them under age – working as domestic workers in people‘s homes. 83 per cent of domestic workers are women. The new Convention becomes binding international law as of 5 September. It needed ratification by two ILO member States. To date, eight ILO member States (Bolivia, Italy, Mauritius, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Philippines, South Africa and Uruguay) have ratified the Convention. Since the Convention‘s adoption, several countries have passed new laws or regulations improving domestic workers‘ labour and social rights, including Venezuela, Bahrain, the Philippines, Thailand, Spain and Singapore. Legislative reforms have also begun in Finland, Namibia, Chile and the United States, among others. Several others have initiated the process of ratification of ILO Convention 189, including Costa Rica and Germany. According to an ILO study from January 2013, entitled Domestic Workers Across the World, domestic workers work for private households, often without clear terms of employment, unregistered and excluded from the scope of labour legislation. At the time of the research, only ten per cent were covered by general labour legislation to the same extent as other workers.

U.S. Jobs Growth Belies Expectation - U.S. jobs growth was less than expected in August and the unemployment rate hit a 4-1/2 year low as Americans gave up the search for work, complicating the Federal Reserve‘s decision on whether to scale back its massive monetary stimulus later this month. Non-farm payrolls increased 169,000 last month, the Labor Department said, adding to signs that economic growth may have slowed a bit in the third quarter. The unemployment rate fell to 7.3 per cent, the lowest since December, 2008. Economists polled by Reuters had expected job gains of 180,000 last month and for the unemployment rate to hold steady at 7.4 per cent. Not only did hiring miss expectations last month, the job count for June and July was revised to show 74,000 fewer positions added than previously reported. In addition, the participation rate — the share of working-age Americans who either have a job or are looking for one — dropped to its lowest level since August 1978. The employment report suggested the economy was struggling to regain momentum after stumbling early in the third quarter. Consumer spending, home building, new home sales, durable goods orders and industrial production all weakened in July. The economy grew at a 2.5 per cent annual pace in the April-June period. The employment report is at odds with other data that have shown signs of improvement in labour market conditions. The number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits is near five-year lows. A gauge of service sector employment hit a six-month high in August. Other details of the employment report were mixed, with a bounce in average hourly earnings and the length of the average workweek, which slipped in July.

(The Hindu, 07.09.2013) India to Ink Workers’ Safety Pact with Saudi - Indian workers in the Gulf can hope for a secure work environment as the government is planning to ink bilateral agreements with some of the countries on workers‘ welfare. The Union cabinet is set to approve a draft bilateral agreement with Saudi Arabia —one of the top destinations for Indian immigrants. Among the key measures, the Centre wants to ensure that all domestic workers in Saudi Arabia will have mandatory bank accounts and their employers will be legally obliged to deposit their salaries in that account every month. As there are several reports of financial deprivation and non-payment of wages to forced labour, New Delhi is keen to push the Gulf countries to bring transparency in the system. The agreement also aims to make the working conditions and other contractual obligations of workers compatible with the labour laws of both countries, otherwise the hiring or placement agencies would not be allowed to recruit expat workers. According to a 2010 World Bank Report, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are among the top ten destinations of immigrant workers and Indians form a large chunk of this workforce. According to a government estimate, almost 28.50 lakh Indian workers are working in the Gulf countries and allegations of violation of contractual obligations are quite common.

(Hindustan Times, 19.09.2013) ILO Says Global Number of Child Labourers Down by A Third Since 2000 - A new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO), ‗Marking progress against child labour‘, says that the global number of child labourers has declined by one third since 2000, from 246 million to 168 million. But even the latest improved rate of decline is not enough to achieve the goal of eliminating the worst forms of child labour by 2016 – agreed by the international community through the ILO. ―We are moving in the right direction but progress is still too slow. If we are serious about ending the scourge of child labour in the foreseeable future, we need a substantial stepping-up of efforts at all levels. There are 168 million good reasons to do so,‖ said ILO Director-General Guy Ryder. The latest ILO estimates, published in the lead-up to the Global


1117

Conference on Child Labour, which takes place in Brasilia next month, show that most of the progress was made between 2008 and 2012, when the global number fell from 215 to 168 million. More than half of the 168 million child labourers worldwide are involved in hazardous work. This is work that directly endangers their health, safety and moral development. The report identifies a number of actions that have driven progress in the fight against child labour in recent years. Policy choices and accompanying investments in education and social protection appear particularly relevant to the decline in child labour. Other actions include the political commitment of governments, the increasing number of ratifications of the two ILO child labour Conventions, sound policy choices and solid legislative frameworks. ―No one can take sole credit for this result, as many have helped draw attention to the negative impacts of child labour on economic growth, the future of societies and the rights of children. However, the ILO‘s role in leading the fight against child labour, through its standards and supervisory system, advice, capacity building and direct action, deserves special mention‖ concluded Constance Thomas, Director of the ILO‘s International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC).

Greek Public Sector Workers Strike as Lenders Check Reform Progress - Greek public sector workers went on strike for the second time in a week, shutting schools and leaving hospitals with skeleton staff, as inspectors from Greece‘s foreign lenders checked whether the country was meeting its bailout targets. Hiring in the civil service has long been considered driven by political patronage and Greece‘s creditors have said they will not dole out any more money unless Athens reforms a state apparatus accused of being spendthrift and corrupt. From municipal police to teachers, workers began a 48-hour walkout against plans to cut thousands of public sector jobs, and they were also protesting over the killing of an anti-racism rapper by a supporter of the far-right Golden Dawn party. ADEDY, the public sector umbrella union which organised the walkout, said government efforts to reduce the 600,000-strong civil service at the behest of the EU and IMF bailing out Greece was ―the most merciless plan‖ to eliminate worker rights. The government has dubbed the plan a ―mobility scheme‖, meaning workers will have to find work in another department within eight months on a reduced salary, or be laid off. The workers say the government is firing them indiscriminately at a time when Greece in enduring its worst peacetime crisis and record unemployment. The administrative reform ministry must put a total of 25,000 workers in the mobility pool by the end of the year.

LABOUR DECISIONS

Exercise of discretionary power under Section 11A of ID Act, 1947 to interfere with punishment of dismissal imposed on employee have to be made judicially and judiciously by Labour Court - In this case, the appellant, working in the respondent Corporation, abused the Checking Inspector by using filthy language and also threatened to do away with his life for imposing penalty for travelling in the Corporation bus without ticket. Besides, he also stated to have attempted to assault the Checking Inspector and misbehaved with the coordinator in the Divisional Office Belgaum. Based on the joint report submitted by affected employees, a charge sheet was issued to the appellant, which he denied. Accordingly, an enquiry was initiated against him wherein the enquiry officer recorded a finding that the charges levelled against the appellant were proved. After issuing a second show cause notice along with a copy of the findings, the order of dismissal came to be issued against the appellant. The appellant raised an industrial dispute which was adjudicated by the Labour Court wherein an award came to be passed holding that the order of dismissal was fully justified and there was no scope to invoke Section 11A of the Industrial Disputes Act to interfere with the punishment imposed on the appellant. When the appellant preferred a writ petition challenging the said award of the Labour Court, Hubli, the Learned Single Judge allowed the Writ Petition, set aside the award of the Labour Court, modified the order of dismissal by ordering withholding of two increments with cumulative effect without consequential benefits and without back wages but with continuity of service. There was a further direction to the respondent Corporation to reinstate the appellant within four weeks from the date of the order of the Learned Single Judge. The Division Bench, however, set aside the order of the Learned Single Judge and upheld the order of dismissal. Hence, the present appeal. After hearing both the counsels of each party the apex court noted that there were no good grounds to interfere with the impugned judgment of the Division Bench. Having regard to the act of misconduct found proved against the appellant in an enquiry held for that purpose by way of disciplinary procedure prescribed in the relevant rules, the conclusion of the Labour Court on this aspect cannot be assailed. As far as the misconduct alleged against the appellant apart from his admission that he travelled without a valid ticket, the evidence placed before the enquiry officer and the Labour Court fully established his other conduct of misbehaviour towards his superiors and other employees. Such a conduct of the appellant towards his superiors and other employees was rightly condemned by the respondent-Corporation while proceeding against him by way of disciplinary action and by passing the order of dismissal. Apart from the conduct for which he was proceeded against, the appellant's past record was also demonstrated to be very bad. He was proceeded against on 27 occasions earlier also for his different acts of misconduct in which on one occasion he indulged in the conduct of threatening a co-employee. Having regard to the above factors, the Labour Court rightly declined to exercise its discretionary jurisdiction under Section 11A of the Act to interfere with the punishment of dismissal imposed on the appellant. Unfortunately, the learned Judge by merely stating that the Labour Court had only considered the interest of the Corporation and not the interest of the employee set aside the said award which was correctly rectified by the Division Bench. The apex court did not find any scope to interfere with the order impugned in this appeal and the same was dismissed. (Davalsab Husainsab Mulla Vs.

The prices reported in the table are averages of open markets prices of specified varieties of an item prevailing in the selected outlets in the selected market(s) in a given centre during the month in case of non-rationed items. So far as rationed items are concerned, the prices for the centres covered under informal rationing are the weighted average prices, the weights being the proportion of the quantity available through Public Distribution System and quantity procured from the open market in different centres in relation to base year requirements of an average family. In case of centres covered under Statutory Rationing the prices are average of the fair prices of variety (ies) of an item distributed through Fair Price Shops. 1.2 Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers: A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) Labour Bureau’s Series of Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 - All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 replacing the earlier series on base 1960-61=100 were released with effect from November, 1995.

The Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for 20 States and All-India are presented group-wise in Tables A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) for the months of July, 2013 and August, 2013. These index numbers measure the extent of change in the retail prices of goods and services consumed by Agricultural and Rural Labourers as compared with the base period viz., 1986-87. The All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural Labourers and Rural Labourers on base 1986-87=100 for August, 2013 increased by 14 points and 12 points respectively to stand at 754 (Seven hundred and fifty four ) points for Agricultural Labourers and 753 (Seven hundred and fifty three) points for Rural Labourers.

(a) and (b). Though the spatial coverage and the individual sample village price quotations in both the series relating to the Agricultural and Rural Labourers are the same, the weighted prices of items at the State level will be slightly different from each other due to difference in the regional weights in each of the series.. 2 Wages and Earnings A.2.1 (a) and (b) Average Daily Wage Rates for Agricultural and Non-agricultural Occupations - As a part of Rural Labour Enquiry, daily wage rates in respect of eighteen agricultural and non-agricultural occupations from a fixed set of 600 sample villages spread over 66 N.S.S. regions in 20 States are being collected alongwith rural retail price data in Schedule 3.01 (R) by the Field Operations Division of the National Sample Survey Organisation since 1986-87. On the recommendations of the Governing Council of the National Sample Survey Organisation in its 61st meeting, Labour Bureau started the compilation and analysis of Wage Rate Data w.e.f. April, 1998. State-wise and all-India average daily wage rates by occupation and sex for the month of August,2013 have been presented in Table A.2.1 (a) for agricultural occupations and Table A.2.1 (b) for non- agricultural occupations. The average wage rates at all-India level are derived by dividing the sum total of wages of all the 20 States by the number of quotations. State-wise averages have been restricted only to those occupations where the number of quotations are five or more in order to avoid inconsistency in wages paid to different categories of workers on account of difference in number of quotations. However, for working out all-India averages all the quotations have been taken into account to arrive at total number of quotations at all-India level. At all-India level also, the number of quotations for working out occupation-wise averages have been restricted to five or more. 3 Industrial Dispute A.3.1. Sector / Sphere-wise Number of Disputes, Workers Involved and Mandays Lost due to Industrial Disputes during January to August, 2013 – These statistics are received in the Bureau from the State Labour Departments and Regional Labour Commissioners (Central) in the prescribed format in the shape of monthly voluntary returns covering State and Central Spheres separately.
