The Economics of Child Labour in the Era of Globalization

Child labour is still a major problem in many developing economies. Children in these poor countries are subjected to exploitation and deprived of education, which not only hampers their physical and mental development, but also perpetuates the vicious cycle of underdevelopment. This book attempts to delve into many of the important aspects of child labour theoretically, and suggest policies which could indeed be useful in dealing with the problem under diverse situations using alternative multi-sector general equilibrium models.
