Child Labour: A textbook for university students [2004]
http://www.ilo.org/public/english/standards/ipec/publ/download/pol_textbook_2004.pdf
[full-text, 311 pages]
[excerpt]
The textbook is divided into three parts. Part I (Chapters 1 and
2) portrays different forms of child labour, including the worst
forms. Part II (Chapters 3 to 5) looks at the possible causes of
child labour and analyses the factors that correlate with the phenomenon.
Part III (Chapters 6 to 9) presents the different actors
in the global fight against child labour and discusses the actions
these groups and individuals, including yourself, can undertake.
Each chapter begins with an introduction to the chapter topic,
and goes on to present the issue, leading to a conclusion. Boxes
are interspersed within the text, in order to illustrate the material
covered. Questions for discussion and suggestions for further
reading are intended to facilitate study in a classroom setting. At
the end of each chapter, coloured pages mark optional reading
that can be useful for focusing in depth on a certain part of the
material presented in the chapter.
At the end of the textbook, a bibliography lists all the sources
used for and cited in this textbook. If you want to learn more
about child labour after reading this book, you should refer to
the list of resources and contact information. Some of the concepts
introduced in this textbook may need some clarification, as
they form the basis for the understanding of any of the chapters.
For this purpose, a glossary has been included. Moreover, an
index helps the reader to find recurrent subjects and phrases
throughout the textbook.
