Community Prevention of Child Labor

Part of the book series: Human Well-Being Research and Policy Making ((HWBRPM))

Abstract

In this chapter we review evidence-based practices in the fight against child labor. First, we examine the diversity of child-rearing patterns and the perception of family obligations by children from different social contexts. Second, we describe the most effective prevention strategies. Third, we conclude with some reflections helpful for the design and implementation of community-based policies against child labor. In the final section of the conclusions, we list some recommendations for intervention.
