Child Labor and Sweatshops

by Christine Watkins

Book Overview

Child labor may seem like a thing of the past, but it is very much still practiced. Editor Christine Watkins compiled fourteen essays that expose its condition today. Readers will learn whether legislation is effective, whether laws should be further enforce or repealed, whether free trade agreements increase the presence of sweatshops, and whether sweatshop inspections have any enduring impact on reduction of the practice.
