What Works for Working Children
(Stockholm: UNICEF and Radda Barnen, 1998).
Argues that many accepted theories about child1 labor and children are not backed
by thorough analysis.
Reviews literature about child1 labor published up through 1998. Argues that
if the requirement for "child-centered"
policymaking, enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, is to
be fully implemented, more should
be done to include children in the formation of decisions that will affect them.
Theme: Working children must be
respected, both in theory, and in the policies and programs designed to affect
them.
