Ending child labour 'would harm families' By JENNIFER HILL, Scotsman, UK
Canadian professors Sylvain Dessy and Stéphane Pallage argued that the International Labour Organisation’s intention to introduce a convention banning the worst kinds of child labour - in sectors such as drug-trafficking, mining, deep-sea fishing and prostitution - would be detrimental to the welfare of poor families and countries’ accumulation of "human capital" - the skills it needs for development.
Reducing poverty, intrinsically linked to child labour, would have far more impact on the problem, they said.------------------------------------------- posted 12:54 PM :: reference link ::
