Description

Explore the global reality of child labor with Child Slaves (Aid and Development Set) by Routledge. This investigative book exposes the systemic exploitation of children's labor and services across the world. It reveals how the national economies of Europe and the USA profit from a system that impacts the welfare of poor children. Based on research conducted with the cooperation of the Anti-Slavery Society for a major BBC television documentary, this work provides a deep look into the manufacturing processes behind everyday items. From 12-year-olds in Portugal making clothes for British chain-stores to children in Brazil working over nine hours a day glueing shoes, the text highlights the human cost of Western consumerism. Readers will learn about the connection between the products eaten, worn, and used in Western homes and the exploitation occurring abroad. This book is an essential resource for understanding the economic policies and development issues surrounding global trade and child welfare.
