Child Labor : A Normative Perspective
Examining child labor through the lenses of weak agency, distributive inequality, and harm suggests that not all work performed by children is equally morally objectionable. Some work, especially work that does not interfere with or undermine their health or education, may allow children to develop skills they need to become well-functioning adults and broaden their future opportunities. Other work, including child prostitution and bonded labor, is unambiguously detrimental to children. Eliminating these forms of child labor should be the highest priority. Blanket bans on all child labor may drive families to choose even worse options for their children, however. Moreover, child labor is often a symptom of other problems poverty, inadequate education systems, discrimination within families, ethnic conflicts, inadequately protected human rights, weak democratic institutions that will not be eliminated by banning child labor.

description |
Examining child labor through the lenses
of weak agency, distributive inequality, and harm suggests
that not all work performed by children is equally morally
objectionable. Some work, especially work that does not
interfere with or undermine their health or education, may
allow children to develop skills they need to become
well-functioning adults and broaden their future
opportunities. Other work, including child prostitution and
bonded labor, is unambiguously detrimental to children.
Eliminating these forms of child labor should be the highest
priority. Blanket bans on all child labor may drive families
to choose even worse options for their children, however.
Moreover, child labor is often a symptom of other problems
poverty, inadequate education systems, discrimination within
families, ethnic conflicts, inadequately protected human
rights, weak democratic institutions that will not be
eliminated by banning child labor. |
