Abstract:
The struggle against child labour is showing results. But the consensus is now being attacked from two sides: abolish all child labour versus there is nothing wrong with child work. Kristoffel Lieten, who is the Child Labour Studies chair at the University of Amsterdam, gives an overview of the current state of affairs. Policies are in place, financial resources are available and public opinion is sensitive to the issue. Yet the problem continues. Ending child labour and achieving universal primary education is the target, but it remains elusive in an environment of deprivation and unfathomable misery.
