Child labour in the developed economies

Peter Dorman

Abstract: Investigates the extent and characteristics of child labour in developed countries. Analyses data on injury and fatality rates among young workers and shows how the characteristics of children's jobs are themselves associated with elevated risk. Identifies the main problem areas and proposes general recommendations. Examines changing perceptions of child labour.
