1. INTRODUCTION
The study on child labour in Romania analyses the trend of the
phenomenon and tries to evaluate its extention.
The goal of the study is to detect the most unacceptable forms of
child labour and to identify the means for their elimination.
The study shall analyse the nature of the work that the children have
to endure, the conditions of their work, if those are running counter
to the valid legislation, if their work is dangerous, degrading, if
it affects their health and education.
There are also verified the existent work relationships between the
children and the beneficiaries of their work, regardless they are in
their own family or outside it, as well as the type of these
relations, if they are linked with servant, abuse or exploitation
aspects.
The study shall also try to identify the causes favouring the
children's labour by analysing the present economical context, the
educational profile, labour legislation and other legislative tools
and governmental programs affecting the child labour.
A special attention will be granted to the identification of the very
young children working (under 12 years old) and the conditions
offered to the working girls, due to the high risks regarding their
exposure to exploitation and submission to all kind of abuses.
The target groups are the children working in slavery conditions or
who are being exploited, or the children working in dangerous
conditions or are sexually abused.
The study was set up and developed under ILO guidance in the frame of
the International Programme for Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) to
which we wish to thank on this occasion for its support, especially
to Mr. Gunter Lochner, ILO expert and to Mr. Nicolae Voiculescu, ILO
correspondent to Bucharest.
