Plight of Street Children: A Study from Moradabad District, India

Shailendra Singh Rana

Abstract: When it comes to the issue of child labor or child work and the pathetic conditions of children there is no dearth of research work. Most of such work is related with children working in factories, cottage industries, domestic sector and other formal or informal sectors but in this context one category of highly underprivileged children is left out. This is the category of street children. The present research work is one such humble attempt in this direction to study the socio-economic conditions of street children in Moradabad, India.
