Child Labour

Global Issues 25

This edition of Global Issues focuses on the topic of child labour. Around 250 million child labourers around the globe experience long hours, cramped conditions, little pay and restricted access to schooling. For many there is not much prospect for the future. It’s not a pretty picture, but it’s not without hope either. Our take action section includes practical suggestions for young Kiwi workers who may be experiencing problems at work, and suggestions about how to help others. Child labour is about rights, and about being able to get a balance between work, school and leisure.

Climate change is a weighty issue with many implications, but there are opportunities for positive change.
