520 _aUrban areas have of late grown enormously in population due to a massive migration from the countryside. This has made informal employment a predominant characteristic of the towns, particularly the industrial towns. Children branded as child labour beyond age twelve make a sizeable chunk of the informal work force and are also more exposed to risks such as a low salary, an unsafe work environment and unprotected by social security. Their informality becomes an extension to their social exclusion from society. Considering the diversity of working children and the combination of causes that lead to child labour, the solution to child labour entails a combination of strategies of better organisation, formalisation and regulation. Besides directly intervening in the field of child labour, local governments could also provide for improved general living conditions in the neighbourhoods. NGOs or state organisations could focus on increasing safety, recreation, satisfactory and free healthcare, and regulations against child abuse. - Reproduced.
