Impact of Microenterprise Participation on Child Education: A Case Study in West Bengal Joddar, Debasish At the doorstep of twenty first century, education has been adopted as a central theme in the development policy dialogue both in national and international arena. As education is the basic pre-condition of economic prosperity, the reconstruction of rural society at a very high social and cultural level is bound up not only with the eradication of poverty but also with the elimination of ignorance, superstition and unconsciousness with the light of education. Thus, microfinance programme through financial inclusion has attempted to address this challenge among other components of poverty alleviation. But it has been observed that total labour demand increases due to increasing credit supply into family enterprises through financial inclusion and thus increases the children’s workload. An attempt has been made in the present study to evaluate the impact of microenterprise participation on schooling and child labour issue has been examined through the empirical evidence of West Bengal by collecting primary data in the selected districts of West Bengal. This study unfortunately exhibits persistent dropout of children from school and this phenomenon appears to be exacerbated by growing demand for labour due to the growth of the household enterprises. It has been also found that many of microenterprises have tried to achieve expected level of sustainability by engaging their children in enterprises instead of using hired labour.

Impact of Developmental Factors on Youth and Traditional Entrepreneurship in Goa Salgaonkar, Pradeep B Goa is a state with tourist potential and it has led to transformation and development of the state. With development there has been employment generation as well as better education and skilling of youth. Though this is a positive and healthy sign for economy of the state, it has subtly impacted the traditional occupations and related entrepreneurship in Goa. It is believed that people involved in indigenous/traditional entrepreneurship like reindeir, poder, kasar, ramponkars, chambbar, mhalo, madvol, kumbhar, mithgaudi, etc. are slowly giving up these traditional occupations. This paper is an exploratory study involving case studies on indigenous entrepreneurs in Goa and deals with issues like: What are the reasons why people are giving up indigenous entrepreneurship? What is the impact of development related factors such as industrialization, globalization, consumer preferences & lifestyle, education & skilling etc. on indigenous entrepreneurship? Whether higher education and skill building has motivated indigenous people to continue and excel in their traditional occupations, or has it led youth shy away from their traditional occupations and seek employment elsewhere? What are the reasons for such behavior? What are the challenges these people face in running business? etc. are dealt in the paper.
