INDIA. Madhya Pradesh. 2006. Children work at a MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) worksite. In many cases, rural families are forced to send their children to work at the NREGA worksites out of desperation. 100 days of work a year per household is not enough for families with many members. So while parents look for work elsewhere, children work at the employment guarantee worksites.
