The South Asia region retains the highest incidence worldwide of child labour. In India, figures from the 2007–2008 Labour Force Survey indicate that working children account for around 2.4 per cent of the total population aged between 5 and 14 years (IAMR 201l), 2 which ostensibly contrasts favourably with much higher figures of 42 per cent for Nepal or 19 per cent for Bangladesh (Chakrabarty and Grote 2009) and 6.2 per cent in India itself in 1993–1994. But in terms of absolute numbers of working children, India has the highest concentration in the world, with estimates indicating a total of 12.6 million. In some states the incidence of child labour exceeds 6 per cent (Rajasthan, Gujarat, Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh), and it is higher in rural areas than urban areas. Child labour persists across many sectors, including those such as the garments industry, which are tightly integrated into global production networks (GPNs) (Posthuma and Nathan 2010). 3 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
