\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMany high school (senior secondary school) students from underprivileged backgrounds in India do not pursue undergraduate (college) education because their parents cannot afford it, or worse still, the family needs to rely on wages from its children\u2019s labor to run the household. This forces the children to seek pre-mature employment in the informal economy (eg. daily wage laborers in construction, rickshaw pullers, drivers and household help).\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

These children, once employed in the informal economy, can rarely exit, and decades later, they in turn cannot afford higher education for their own kids. Thus begins a vicious cycle that is hard to break, and keeps generations of such families in abject poverty.<\/p>

While myriad scholarships for underprivileged students are available in various forms, students are still reluctant to attend college, as they know that their families need financial support from their labor, leaving them with no choice but to join the informal economy. Such decision making is forced also by lack of role models and career guidance.<\/p>
