Abstract

Over 168 million children across the world are trapped in the vicious cycle of child labour. Deprived of their basic right to survival, protection, development and participation, these children, between the age group of 5 to 17 years, account for 11% of the world’s total child population. The garment industry is one of the largest employers in the country, generating 1/5th of the total export earnings and contributing to 4% of the country’s total GDP.
