520			_aThis volume is based on the proceedings of the All-India Seminar on Demographic and Socio-Economic Aspects of the Child in India held at the International Institute for Population Studies, Bombay, from February 26 to February 28, 1979. The seminar was organised as a part of the national programmes and activities in recognition of the year 1979 as the International Year of the Child. A number of eminent scholars and speci alists, representing the disciplines of Demography, Economics, Nutrition, Public Health and Social Work, who were actively engaged on various problems of Indian children, had participated in and contributed papers to, the seminar. These papers, after the nece- ssary revision in the light of the comments and discu- ssions at the meetings, form the core of this volume. The volume has two parts: Part I contains the revised version of the full length papers presen ted at the seminar; and Part II gives the notes, reviews and summaries of other papers presented. The papers in Part I are broadly classified under the three main sections, namely : Section A: Demographic and Economic Aspects of the Child; Section B: Health and Nutritional Status of the Child; and Section C Social Aspects of the Child. In all, thirty-nine papers have been included in Part . It is hoped that this volume will provide not only an understanding of the conditions of the life, and the magnitude of the problems of, children in India, buut also will help to motivate enlightened readers to seek for solutions to the basic problems afflicting children in the country today. For re searchers and social workers in the field, this volume is expected to serve as a useful reference work. At the same time, it offers them a wide spectrum of topics which call for further research.
