Physically Challenged Children of Army Personnel and Non-Army Personnel in India

Abstract

Working from a young age is widely acknowledged to inflict physical, moral, and psychological harm to children, as well as the loss of childhood. Apart from working children, those who are out of school but not working form a reserve army of child labourers, according to this study, and policies must address them as well. A Multinomial Logit Model was used to investigate the prevalence of schooling, job, and the reserve army in India, and variables influencing such decisions were discovered. Economic position, parental education, social class, and the gender of the kid all seem to be important factors. 33 percent of individuals who use our medical facilities make up children of military members. Children in the Indian Armed Forces are beating the national average with respect to children's health indicators and immunisation coverage. As a result of improved patient care, disease incidence and death patterns among children of the Armed Forces have changed from infectious disorders to chronically complicated conditions. Nutrition and infectious illness admissions into children's hospitals at military hospitals have decreased, representing only around 21% of total hospital paediatric reports.
