This document summarizes key labor laws and acts in India related to workmen's compensation and social security, including the Workmen's Compensation Act of 1923 and Employees' State Insurance Act of 1948. It also discusses a series of Factory Acts passed in Britain between 1802-1937 to regulate child labor and working hours/conditions in textile mills, which were later adopted and modified in India. The acts established minimum employment ages, limited working hours, mandated health and safety standards, and introduced employer liability for work-related injuries.
