Description

Examines the critical dimensions of child labour in 15 countries Child labour is a complex social and political issue with a long and evolving history. Poverty, lack of education, gender, the demands of the global marketplace, and easy sex tourism are some of the factors contributing to child labour in the 15 countries examined. Each chapter depicts the child labour scene in a country and the conditions, the history of the problem, child labour today, political policies and social aspects, plus the outlook for the future. An unprecedented number of children around the world are working today, and this volume is an up-to-date survey for student research. Readers are also able to get a sense of the children's point of view in vignettes, which add a human-interest angle to the narrative of those suffering. Part of the A World View of Social Issues series Packed with statistics Vignettes provide first-hand accounts from child labourers
