Policy or Poverty? Links Between Child Labour and Educational Failure

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: How can we understand the
correlation between the incidence of
child labour and poor school
attendance and educational
achievement? In South Asia, is it
poverty that drives children into the
workplace or is it policy failure which
keeps kids out of classrooms? What
needs to be done to eliminate child
labour and to universalise education?
