It is estimated that there are between 50 and 100 million child labourers in India, making up at least 12 percent of the child population. More than 75 million children are out of school, and 34 percent of children leave before they reach the end of primary school. 12% of girls never see the inside of a classroom. Even in developed states like Gujarat the juvenile sex ratio is shockingly low. In 2011 it was 918 girls to 1000 boys, compared to a national average of 914.
