Children’s rights [Lire]
Many of us believe that, children get the best protection from family and are more likely to provide the best conditions for a healthy development, which is true to a large extend. However, it is also a fact that children in many a context prevent break up of families especially in more traditional communities. Children have unwittingly kept the institution of family alive and bound together men women who are consciously selfish by nature. Children continue to call adults to experience love and peace and to be vulnerable and generous givers. There are also instances where children have kept the family from suicide and starvation by shouldering the breadwinner role in the family. Stories of this type may be not common but are a reality. Especially in situations where the earning member of the family has disappeared; due to war, conflict, breakup of family for any other reasons where children have become the ultimate victims.

Right to Work and the Rural Employment Guarantee Act [Lire]
The 1991 reforms resulted in a reduction in public works programs and employment generating activities, rising input costs while the prices and support of the government declined. This affected rural India badly and lead to a falling agricultural production, and thus a reduced per capita availability of food grains, as well as a decrease in purchasing power. Employment in general is a problem as the labour force has grown faster than the growth of employment. In addition, there is a growing discrimination of women in rural labour with lower wager and a faster overall decline in women’s employment. Thus, with high unemployment rates, increased poverty, starvation deaths, and peasant suicides, rural India suffers a severe crisis Fiche d’analyse -
