This study of child labour addresses three major themes: in Part 1 Michael Lavelette discusses the theoretical context of child labour research, dealing with the liberation/protection debate, a child's 'right to work' and the future direction of child labour strategies. Part 2 examines child labour in British history over the last 200 years; and Part 3 looks at contemporary issues including children at work in Britain, 1970-1998, and child employment law, and includes an essay on child labour in the USA.
