There is still around 10 per cent child labour among the total workforce at the national level. This study explores the impact socio-economic and demographic predictor variables on likelihood of work participation of the children aged 10-14 years in India and four groups of states. The analysis of the study is based on work participation rate of the children by different characteristics to National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 3 data and Census of India 2001 data. The study also applies logistic regression model to NFHS 3 data. Proportion of child labour is higher in rural areas and it is higher among females. As expected the proportion of child labour is high among the poor households and among socio-economically backward communities.

To find out the differentials of unmet need for contraceptive use, Logistic regression technique is applied to National Family Health Survey (NFHS 3) data. Of the socioeconomic and demographic variables, number of living children, ethnicity, wealth status of household, media exposure, occupation of the respondents, child death experience, sex composition of children are found to be significantly effective in determining unmet need for contraception of the currently married women. The results of the study show that unmet need for family contraception is more in the EAG states as compared to the South Indian and rest Indian states
