"Children's work is neither simply a relic of bygone times nor a feature of so-called backward societies. It is, in fact, currently on the increase - in a number of different ways - in all parts of the world, including the affluent countries of Europe and North America, and is closely linked to the processes of globalization." "This book endeavours to understand working children, and their ways of living and acting, from their own perspective. Particular attention is paid to children's own experiences and hopes, especially their attempts to articulate themselves in public and to fight together against exploitation and discrimination."--BOOK JACKET.
