The World of Child Labor by Hugh D Hindman,Hugh Hindman Pdf
"The World of Child Labor" details both the current and historical state of child labor in each region of the world, focusing on its causes, consequences, and cures. Child labor remains a problem of immense social and economic proportions throughout the developing world, and there is a global movement underway to do away with it. Volume editor Hugh D. Hindman has assembled an international team of leading child labor scholars, researchers, policy-makers, and activists to provide a comprehensive reference with over 220 essays. This volume first provides a current global snapshot with overview essays on the dimensions of the problem and those institutions and organizations combating child labor. Thereafter the organization of the work is regional, covering developed, developing, and less developed regions of the world.The reference goes around the globe to document the contemporary and historical state of child labor within each major region (Africa, Latin and South America, North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Oceania) including country-level accounts for nearly half of the world's nations. Country-level essays for more developed nations include historical material in addition to current issues in child labor. All country-level essays address specific facets of child labor problems, such as industries and occupations in which children commonly work, the national child welfare policy, occupational safety regulations, educational system, and laws, and often highlight significant initiatives against child labor.Current statistical data accompany most country-level essays that include ratifications to UN and ILO conventions, the Human Development Index, human capital indicators, economic indicators, and national child labor surveys conducted by the Statistical Information and Monitoring Program on Child Labor. "The World of Child Labor" is designed to be a self-contained, comprehensive reference for high school, college, and professional researchers. Maps, photos, figures, tables, references, and index are included.

The alphabetical entries are also referenced by category, and there are many citations of contemporary books and studies on specific subjects."--BOOK JACKET.
Child labor is not a natural phenomenon. There seems to be a persistent misconception about child labor: first the poverty problem must be solved and then child labor will no longer be necessary. This is putting the cart before the horse. Poverty is in fact not the cause of child labor but it is a result of child labor. The fight against poverty must begin with the fight against child labor. Children can contribute to the development of their country, in the future, but only if they are given a chance to go to school now. In A World for Children: Growing Up Without Child Labour author and photographer Peter de Ruiter touches a raw nerve. During his travels in nine countries across three continents he began to understand the reality of child labor, how it originates and why. He noted the fallacies created to justify why children should work. He photographed the injustice the children are subjected to. And he offers solutions--the reader is given different ideas on how to personally take action against child labor. Children must go to school. They must play and learn and be allowed to develop their full potential. It is up to adults to create a world in which children can do exactly that: a world for children. Child labor is not a natural phenomenon. It was created by man and can be ended by man. A World for Children is targeted towards a wide audience: consumers, aid organization employees, politicians, students, children from about the age of ten and anyone who feels touched by the subject. The more than 400 gripping photos and the critical text spread just one message: stop child labor now.

This report includes analyses of national child labor trends based on the latest survey data, discussions of the role of poverty and economic shocks in rendering households vulnerable to child labor, and detailed consideration of income transfers, public employment programs, social insurance, and microcredit initiatives as they have been implemented around the world. The report distills a broad range of research in economic and social policy and should be of interest to those looking for ways to combat poverty in the present and reduce its burden on the next generation.

Give Girls a Chance by Una Murray (international development consultant.),Patrick Quinn,International Labour Office Pdf
This report is a profile on child labour among girls and draws attention to the international legal framework as it relates to child labour. It identifies the reasons why it is important that the issues facing girls engaged in child labour be urgently addressed. Girls are highly vulnerable as many forms of girls' work is hidden, girls face multiple disadvantages, and have the "double burden" of having to combine household chores and economic activity, which as a result jeopardises their schooling. The report provides an analysis of the work of girls and boys in sixteen countries looking both at economic activities and unpaid household services. The observations that emerge are that overall, girls work longer hours than boys, and girls constitute a large proportion of the children engaged in the most dangerous forms of child labour, including forced and bonded labour and prostitution. The report calls for strengthening the knowledge base on issues of child labour among girls and suggests that policy steps include free quality education for all children up to the minimum age of employment.

Children in Hazardous Work by International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour,International Labour Office Pdf
This book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge on hazardous child labor, relating the negative and the positive, the problems, and the solutions. The first section samples research on what is known about how children are uniquely affected by workplace hazards and in what settings children are working in hazardous conditions. The second part of the book presents good practices that demonstrate different ways in which hazardous work can be reduced. It explores what can happen when leadership is taken by government, workers, employers, and the community. It also demonstrates that no one party can achieve the result on its own; ultimately, others must support, assist, and do their part. The examples selected here are practical ones that show promise for scaling up nationally and globally.
