Abstract

Child labor has long been considered a social problem that must be minimized, if not eliminated. The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, which required that children be protected from work that harms their health, educational opportunities, and mental, physical, social, or moral development, was signed by 191 countries. Despite this widespread condemnation, about one in every eight children aged 10 to 14 worldwide works.
