"Child labour is a widespread global phenomenon, and is often regarded as a form of child abuse or exploitation of children. Many international bodies such as the United Nations (UN) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) have included the abolition of child labour on their agenda." "This in-depth study shows the complexity surrounding the issue of child labour. It reveals that child labour may not be a consequence of poverty which most previous studies emphasised. The law on child labour should be modified to take into consideration other factors such as culture, education system and social environment that are important determinants of child labour." "It is written in an anthropological style with no jargons and for the reading pleasure of both academicians and general public. It is a book for those who are concerned with the Malaysian education, system, culture and the prospect of future generation."--BOOK JACKET.

The second part of the book presents good practices that demonstrate different ways in which hazardous work can be reduced. It explores what can happen when leadership is taken by government, workers, employers, and the community.
