India has the largest number of non-schoolgoing working children in the world. Why has the government not removed them from the labor force and required that they attend school? To answer this question, this comparative study looks at why and when other states have intervened to protect children against parents and employers.

This book does not only offer an analysis of the political effects of the dramatic population changes that are taking place in countries all around the world; it also represents the testimony of one of the most distinguished scholars in the field of migration and population studies.
