Description
It is increasingly clear that children and the youth today play a significant role in the labour process in africa. But, to what extent is this role benign? And when and why dose this role bedcome exploitative rather then beneficial This book on children and the youth in Africa sets out to address these questions. The book observes that in Africa today children are under pressure to work, often engaged In the worst forms of child labour and therefore not living out their role as children. It argues that the social and economic environment of the African child is markedly different from what obtains elesewhere, and gots further to challenge all factors that have combined in stripping children of their childhood and turning them into instruments and commodities in the labor process. It also explains the sources, dynamics, magnitude and likely consequences of the exploitation of children and the youth in contemporary Africa. The book is obviously an Invaluable contribution to the discourse on children, while the case studies are aimed at creating more awareness about the development problems of children and the youth in Africa, with a view to evolving more effective national and global responses.
