Child labour:
Child
labour
can be defined as
work
being
done
by children in violation
of
the rules of the Minimum Age Convention No. 138 established by the
International
Labour
Organisation.
This
phenomenon
appears in many forms ranging from house and farm
labour
within
the
family (which
does
not
rule
out
exploitation) to the
pure
and
most extreme forms
of
child exploitation in
numerous
industries
(bonded
labour)
and
organized prostitution.
