Investigating Incidence of Child Labor in Cotton Ginning Factories of Gujarat - Draft report

Prayas carried out the study to find out labor conditions in cotton ginning industry in Gujarat with a focus on employment of children and adolescents in the work season 2011 - 12. It was in continuation of a similar study carried out in 2010 - 11 with ILRF support. The studies have generated information on (i) socio-economic profile of labor force (ii) incidence of child labor (iii) wages and working and living conditions (iv) pattern of recruitment. The study findings have provided valuable material for undertaking advocacy work with the state and the ginning industry to improve work conditions and reduce incidence of child labor in the industry.
The study was undertaken in 15 cotton ginning factories of Kadi, Manavadar and Gondal clusters. The three districts in which these clusters are located together account for almost half the number of functional ginning units in the state. A total of 347 workers have been mapped.
