Lost Childhood in Mica Mine in Koderma, Jharkhand
This systematic review is about how mica mining affects the children who are growing up in Koderma, Jharkhand. Well, it is based on other research and reports, and it talks about how working in the mica mines as a child completely interferes with a child's education, health, and social development. Children are often forced to drop out of school to work in dangerous conditions, which contributes to the high dropout rate and lack of future opportunities. Physical ailments range from respiratory problems to injuries, but besides that, there is also a lot of emotional stress on the children involved. The review says that poverty forces families to rely on mica mining, which in turn forces children into exploitation. The situation requires immediate intervention, better education, health care, and economic opportunities for the families. That review also points out some holes in current research, namely mental health and the fact that current data on child labour in mica mining is out of date. It just reinforces the fact that everything possible should be done to secure the rights and welfare of children.
