Abstract

Women and children participate mostly in family farm activities particularly in livestock, activities rather than crop. The type of crop and livestock activities performed by women were found to be a bit different than those of children. Only from landless households, woman labour was hired out while child labour was hired out both from poor farmers and landless households. To increase income, the distress rural women need sufficient institutional supports like credit facilities along with training for production of various farm and non-farm products. Institutional support is also needed for marketing their products. While for the greater interest of the society, to encourage child education rather than participation in employment activities by the child, Programmes like Food for Education (like Food for Works) may be introduced as a subsidy particularly to those families from which child labour is hired out.
