The worldwide movement against child labour. Progress and future directions

This study provides the first systematic analysis of the worldwide movement against child labour. It argues that the intellectual and policy frameworks first articulated by the ILO in the 1980s remain important departure points for developing a more coherent, more sustained global effort against child labour. The study also emphasizes that they need re-visiting and more certain application and examines areas of divergence and convergence within the movement.

A key objective of the book is to identify the means by which the worldwide movement can gain the necessary traction to exert a sustained impact on the problem. To this end, the book outlines the major challenges and opportunities facing the worldwide movement and highlights the role of the key global actors in responding to them.
