Children of female sex workers from ten areas were studied in the city of Vijayawada, the commercial nerve centre of Andhra Pradesh where the descriptive survey design was adopted. The research variable of development was assessed through physical, psychological and social development factors. Regression analysis shows that education, among other variables, contributes positively. Sex, as a variable, is conspicuously absent in the equation, thus, arousing uneasy questions. Growth centres are, therefore, recommended to strengthen specific areas of development. - Reproduced
