They do not go to school and have little or no time to play. Many do not receive proper nutrition or care. They are denied the chance to be children. More than half of them are exposed to the worst forms of child labour such as work in hazardous environments, slavery, or other forms of forced labour, illicit activities including drug trafficking and prostitution, as well as involvement in armed conflict. In many countries child labour is mainly an agricultural issue. Worldwide 60 percent of all child labourers in the age group 5 - 17 years work in agriculture, including farming, fishing, aquaculture, forestry, and livestock. This amounts to over 129 million girls and boys. The majority (67.5%) of child labourers are unpaid family members. In agriculture this percentage is higher, and is combined with very early entry into work, sometimes between 5 and 7 years of age. Child labour refers to the exploitation of the labour of children who are either too young to work, or are of working age but work under conditions that subject them to risk. It is an unfortunate reality that children worldwide are often forced to undertake work that is physically, psychologically and morally damaging to them. Nonetheless, not all work performed by children is classified as child labour. In fact, some light work that does not interfere with the child’s development, their education, or health, such as helping parents around the home, or earning pocket money outside of school hours or on holidays, can be a positive experience for children.2 The term child labour therefore does not generally apply to children between the ages of 12-14 that engage in light work or to children between the ages of 15-17 who work in non-hazardous conditions. Child labour is a cause and consequence of poverty and education and training is crucial to breaking this cycle. At the same time, interventions on education and training must be integrated with other interventions to effectively remove children from hazardous work. This includes measures which address poverty and underdevelopment, inadequate health and social policies, weak labour market institutions, inadequate legislation and an inadequate enforcement of laws. Both supply side factors such as the role of poverty in compelling parents to send their children to work, and demand side factors such as the way a society organizes its production processes help determine the extent to which children engage in child labour.

Brown Tufts University Alan V. Deardorff University of Michigan and Robert M. Stern University of Michigan September 2002 I. Introduction The specter of small children toiling long hours under dehumanizing conditions has precipitated an intense debate concerning child labor over the past decade and a half. As during the midst of the 19th century industrial revolution, policymakers and the public have attempted to come to grips with the causes and consequences of child labor. Coordinating a policy response has revealed the complexity and moral ambiguity of the phenomenon of working children. Although child labor has been the norm throughout history, the fact of children working and the difficult conditions under which children work occasionally become more evident. In the midst of the 19th century, child labor became more visible because children were drawn into an industrial setting. Currently, child labor has become more visible because of the increase in the number of children producing goods for export. Our purpose here is not to provide a definitive diagnosis of the causes and consequences of child labor, but rather to review the existing theoretical, empirical, and historical literature as to why and when children work.

  • The Ilo's Shifts in Child Labour Policy: Regulation and Abolition
    Chapter 7 The ilo’s Shifts in Child Labour Policy: Regulation and Abolition Edward van Daalen and Karl Hanson Abstract After wwii the International Labour Organization (ilo) slowly but surely developed a ‘two plank’ approach to child labour, aimed at harmonising the need to protect chil- dren who do work, with the long-term goal of abolishing all forms of child labour. Dur- ing the 1990s the ‘two plank’ approach, which included the regulation and humanisa- tion of children’s work, gradually evolved into a more singular approach aimed only at the full eradication of all child labour, starting with the ‘worst forms’. Based on an anal- ysis of the relevant legal and policy documents produced by the ilo and other inter- national Organizations, completed with in-depth interviews with key informants, we examine the internal and external developments that made the ‘abolitionist’ approach now the only perspective that shapes the ilo’s child labour policies. We conclude that, after a century of ilo child labour policy, the intermediate objective of improving chil- dren’s working conditions is now just as relevant as it was before the turn away from the ‘two plank’ approach. For the ilo to shift its position at this time, it needs to reach out to the research community, international development actors as well as local gov- ernments and social movements to develop locally relevant, evidence-based policies for dealing with the diversity of children’s work in the world’s fast changing formal and informal economies. 1 Introduction The abolition of child labour has been one of the principle objectives of the International Labour Organization (ilo) ever since its inception in 1919.

  • The Child's Right to Participation – Reality Or Rhetoric? 301 Pp
    The Child’s Right to Participation – Reality or Rhetoric? The Child’s Right to Participation – Reality or Rhetoric? Rebecca Stern Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Grotiussalen, Uppsala, Friday, September 22, 2006 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Laws. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Stern, R. 2006. The Child's Right to Participation – Reality or Rhetoric? 301 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-506-1891-1. This dissertation examines the child’s right to participation in theory and practice within the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights instruments. Article 12 of the Convention establishes the right of the child to express views and to have those views respected and properly taken into consideration. The emphasis of the study is on the democracy aspects of child participation and on how the implementation of the right to participation could become more effective. For these purposes, the theoretical underpinnings of the child’s right to participation are examined with a particular focus on the impact of power structures. In order to clarify how state parties to the Convention have implemented article 12 and the way they argue regarding possible obstacles for implementation, jurisprudence and case law (practice) of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, as well as supervisory bodies of other international human rights instruments, are studied. In particular, the importance of traditional attitudes towards children on the realisation of participation rights for children is analysed. The case of India is presented as an example of how a state party to the Convention can argue on this matter.

  • The Barefoot Lawyers: Prosecuting Child Labour in the Supreme Court of India
    THE BAREFOOT LAWYERS: PROSECUTING CHILD LABOUR IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA Ranjan K. Agarwal* I. INTRODUCTION On the eve of India’s independence from British rule, India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, issued a challenge to the constituent assembly: “We end today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?”1 For the most part, this challenge has gone unmet in the fifty-seven years since India’s independence. In 1999, twenty-six percent of Indians lived below the poverty line; sixteen percent of the population was officially “destitute” in 1998.2 As of 1997, India’s literacy rate was fifty-two percent, amongst the lowest in the world.3 Indians respond that their country is the largest democracy in the world, and one of the few democracies in Asia. In the face of economic hardship, communal and religious strife, the horrors of partition and the legacy of colonialism, India has remained a democratic country. Even then, democracy has not achieved for India the position of influence in the world and the more widely shared prosperity that its citizens hoped for their country. Too many Indians are poor, hungry, illiterate and view their government with contempt. For example, Indian newspapers estimate that hundreds of suspected criminals stood for election in the 1997 municipal votes in Delhi and Mumbai.4 Transparency International, a German anti-corruption organization, ranks India amongst the most corrupt * B.A.

  • Childrens' Rights in the South African Constitution
    CHILDREN’S RIGHTS IN THE SOUTH-AFRICAN CONSTITUTION* Prof JA Robinson 1. INTRODUCTION It is a truism that both the history of a country and its peoples and the dispensation the country aspires to be, is to some degree reflected in its Constitution. South Africa is certainly no exception. The constitutional dispensation that came into effect in South Africa on the 27th April 1994 was designed to innovate social, political and legal structures that would be radically different from those of the country's past history.1 The Constitution not only recognises the injustices of the past, but also depicts the new South Africa as an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom.2 To this end the constitutional Bill of Rights provides the legally enforceable backing. In the new dispensation any institution associated with the discrimination and repression practices of apartheid South Africa is * This contribution will also be published in the series Forum Juris Internationalis presented by the Faculty of Law, Justus Liebig Universität, Gießen, Germany. 1 The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 200 of 1993 (hereafter referred to as the Interim Constitution) came into force on the 27th April 1994. It effected radical changes in the sense that henceforth the franchise and associated political and civil rights would be accorded to all citizens without racial qualification and the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty was now replaced by the doctrine of constitutional supremacy. The Interim Constitution was formally adopted as an Act of the pre- democratic Tricameral Parliament and was only meant to be a transitional Constitution.
