Listen to Us the World's Working Children

Jane Springer has spent more than a decade working with GUSO and UNICEF in the developing world. Among other things, she discusses the kinds of work children do and why they do it, and why it is an issue in both developing and industrialized countries. As she points out, the solution to the child labor problem is not easy. But by understanding the cultural and economic roots behind the situation, and by listening to the children themselves, we can be inspired to work together to bring about change.This Australian edition reveals where Australia stands on child labour with case studies, statistics, sources and websites to explore the issues.’This is a clear and well-written book that can help young people understand the complex and important issue of child labor. The voices of the children it quotes from around the world ring true.’ -UNICEF
