Child Labour's Global Past

Call for Papers: Child Labour’s Global Past (1500-2000)
International conference, Amsterdam, 15-17 November 2006

We live in an age when child labour is almost extinct in some parts of the world, and an enduring phenomenon in others. Depending on the definitions used, the estimated number of child labourers ranges from 180 to 250 million worldwide. Notwithstanding a gradual decline in some parts of the world, overall progress remains inadequate. The eradication of child labour seems to be an insurmountable problem.
