Child Labor in Brick Kilns Hyderabad
Child Labor in Brick Kilns Hyderabad Introduction Child labor continues to remain a pressing concern in the developing world where millions of children are exposed to work activities that are detrimental to their physical and emotional development. Apart from being psychologically, emotionally and physically harmful, underage employment undermines a child‟s prospects of future well being. Majority of the children who become involved in work activities are deprived of their right to education which exposes them to a vicious cycle of poverty and economic exploitation. In more extreme forms of child labor, children are virtually enslaved in debt bondage, begging and prostitution rings and recruitment in armed conflict. These „worst forms of child labor‟ are a major cause of criminal activities like child trafficking, prostitution and child pornography. Child labor, especially its worst forms are mostly concentrated in the informal sector of the economy as state institutions lack the purview and/or capacity to monitor the underage employment of children in mostly amorphous settings. Child labor is a complex problem and there are multiple reasons for its prevalence. Poverty is the most compelling reason behind underage employment as the poorest of the poor lack enough resources to make ends meet. In this context, the income provided by working children is often critical for the family‟s survival. Other reasons may include barriers to education, values and traditions that promote employment of children, market demands and economic upheavals, and poor implementation of child protection policies and legislation. According to ILO‟s global estimates, around 215 million children1 were involved in child labor in 2012 with a 115 million2 engaged in hazardous occupations. -

Literature Review of Critical Climate-Stress Moments in the Hindu Kush Himalaya a Resource Kit
HI A ARE Himalayan Adaptation, Water and Resilience Research Literature Review of Critical Climate-Stress Moments in the Hindu Kush Himalaya A Resource Kit Consortium members About HI-AWARE This resource kit was produced by the Himalayan Adaptation, Water and Resilience (HI-AWARE) consortium under the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) with financial support from the UK Government’s Department for International Development and the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada. CARIAA aims to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods in three climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia. The programme supports collaborative research to inform adaptation policy and practice. HI-AWARE aims to enhance the adaptive capacities and climate resilience of the poor and vulnerable women, men, and children living in the mountains and flood plains of the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra river basins. It seeks to do this through the development of robust evidence to inform people-centred and gender-inclusive climate change adaptation policies and practices for improving livelihoods. The HI-AWARE consortium is led by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD). The other consortium members are the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS), The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the Climate Change, Alternative Energy, and Water Resources Institute of the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (CAEWRI- PARC) and Wageningen Environmental Research
