Children's Perspectives on their Working Lives

"This report is one of few studies in the world that asks working
children
directly what they think about their work, how they feel about
school and
what their hopes and aspirations for the future are. As such, it is
timely,
espcially given the debate surrounding child-work issues. Many
people
involved in this debate assume that children have nothing of
relevance to
say. This study is a cross-cultural testimony which shows that
working
girls and boys are quite capable of forming sensible opinions that
are
worth hearing.
In the study local fieldworkers all used the same framework of
activities - The Children's Perspectives Protocol."
