Child Labor in India - Brief Article

Progressive, The,  Sept, 2000  

Bihar and West Bengal, India

A young boy works in a light bulb factory in Patna City, Bihar. He attaches metal ends to the light bulbs, then carries baskets of them downstairs where they are fired to fuse the ends together. The boy on the right is kneading clay to make bricks at a kiln in West Bengal. He will form the clay into a mold and let it sun-dry before it is fired in the kiln. According to Human Rights Watch, fifteen million children between the ages of five and fourteen work as bonded laborers in India.
