Goa Government Proposes Amendments To Child Labor Regulations
The proposed amendments to the child and adolescent labour regulations include renaming the rules to include “Adolescent” and defining key terms. The new rules aim to raise public awareness, allow children to help their families and work as artists under strict guidelines, and omit restrictions on certain occupations. They also establish procedures for payments from the Child and Adolescent Labour Rehabilitation Fund and limit adolescents to working no more than 5 hours a day in applicable establishments.
