Abstract

In mainstream approaches, children’s labour is either to be banned or is not recognised. As a result, their association with the process of wealth creation and its distribution is occulted. In this paper, taking a classfocused Marxian approach, we question and critique the premise of this supposition on children's working world. As against the received rendition of children's working world, we offer an alternative method of locating and analysing the relation of children with the process of wealth creation and its distribution. Rehabilitating the children as an economic actor in the class-focused terrain opens up new avenues to ask and offer questions including policy-related ones that have hitherto been put aside from the discussion on children's working world.
