Description-Abstract
Child
laborers
in
India
Description-Notes
Gravel
quarries
are a
common
sight
in
Orissa
and
other
states
in
India
. The
children
that
work
here are
exploited
12-16
hours
a
day
,
7
days
a
week
.
Most
child
laborers
do
not have
access
to
school
. At
night
many
sleep
in the
open
or in
makeshift
shelters
where
sanitary
conditions
are
nonexistent
.
Exposure
to the
rock
dust
from the
grinder
causes
silicosis
of the
lungs
and
inevitably
leads
to
respiratory
illness
, and
carrying
heavy
loads
on their
heads
can
cause
permanent
skeletal
injury
.
Many
child
laborers
die
before
they
reach
30
.
