Preface and Acknowledgements

In the last few decades, we have witnessed significant advancements in our understanding of the relationships between economic development and child labour. There is now consensus that a myriad of factors cause child labour, and general recognition of the need to address these issues in growth and development policy decisions. Many countries are revising their child labour policies to fast track the achievement of more effective results with due recognition of the importance of eliminating poverty. The ratifications of many international agreements by all countries in South Asia and re-evaluation of their own approaches provide a basis for prioritizing policies which if implemented have a greater chance of success in eliminating child labour.
