Abstract

It is evident from the review of literature that there are some studies on child labour both in rural and urban areas. Some studies are concentrated on working conditions while some on problems of child labour. Few others have made on school dropouts among child labour. Some more have made studies on different child labour Acts and their impact on the child labour. However, it is surprised to find that scant attempts are made on the child labour in unorganized sector. More so, no study on empirical basis is made on child labour in unorganized in Kurnool district. Hence the present paper in an empirical attempt.
