Patterns of child migration and child migrant labour in the cities of India.
"Using the data of the Indian Census of 1961, this study examines the rate of child migration to the cities of India and the proportion of the migrant children who were engaged in the labour force.  The volume of child migration is found to be positively associated with total migration.  Just over a fifth of the urban children were migrants but nearly forty percent of the child labourers were migrant children who were found to be concentrated in a few occupational divisions.  Rural migrant children were short distance migrants while urban migrant children made long distance moves."
