Author Description

This book examines the determinants and implications of child work. Globalization has brought child labor practices into the front line of political debate with many high profile consumer goods being sourced from companies employing child workers. This book is the first fully comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the research in this field, organising the literature thematically to draw out the key policy issues. It provides a handbook for researchers and policy-makers, and critical reading for post-graduate students and scholars of development studies.
