Child Labour in Sub-Saharan Africa—An Exploration

Abstract

Summary Jens Chr. Andvig, ‘Child Labour in Sub-Saharan Africa—An Exploration’, Forum for Development Studies, 1998:2, pp. 327–362. The article explores the different strands of literature that deal with child labour in sub-Saharan Africa. Public reports as well as the social science and some of the NGO literature are discussed. Analytically, the emphasis is on the decision-making structure including the children's own choices. It is argued that the behaviour of families and households is crucial both at the demand and supply end for most of the child labour observed in sub-Saharan Africa.
