[3e éd.] Ils récoltent le coton, le café et le cacao, gardent les troupeaux, façonnent des briques, ou sont chiffonniers, domestiques ou mineurs de fond : plus de 300 millions d'enfants dans le monde ont une activité économique, soit un enfant sur cinq. Tous les continents sont concernés : Asie, Afrique, Amérique latine et Europe. Ce livre, documenté et illustré de cas concrets, décrit les multiples formes de leur travail par pays et champ d'activité (agriculture, industrie, travail dans les rues, domesticité...). Il en analyse les causes, qui sont connues, mais peu combattues, ainsi que les mécanismes économiques et sociologiques. Il montre ainsi que la main-d'oeuvre enfantine constitue un rouage invisible de l'économie contemporaine et que nous achetons tous les jours, sans le savoir, des produits où des mains d'enfants sont intervenues, à un stade ou un autre de la fabrication. Faut-il pour autant boycotter leur travail ? Celui-ci reste-t-il une fatalité dans les pays pauvres ? Et quel est le rôle des syndicats d'enfants ? Cette édition actualisée répond à ces questions et examine les dernières évolutions de ce phénomène, avant d'ouvrir des pistes pour l'avenir.

Historiography of child labour has often been characterized by strong biases, leading to an overemphasis on the aberrations of factory work as well as to the stereotyping of child work, with industrializing England as the dominant model. This collection of articles offers a global perspective, including both national and comparative case studies which cover all continents and thus overcomes such biases in child labour history. It focuses on various sectors of the economy: industrial work is highlighted and so are the important activities of children in agriculture. Furthermore, Child Labour's Global Past, 1650-2000 is intended to give a long-term historical perspective, in covering the importance of children's work in pre-industrial and industrial societies, both in colonial and non- or post-colonial settings. A long-term global approach to the history of child labour is desirable. As child labour was - and still is - a social phenomenon which can only be properly understood in its historical context, the varying historical experiences over the world can not only enlighten us about the specific function of child labour, but also about its causes, and therewith about possible solutions of child labour today.

This paper investigates the determinants of primary school enrollment, attendance and child labor in Bolivia from 1999 to 2007. The analysis also aims at identifying the substitution and complementary relationships between schooling and working. Although enrollment rates show a significant improvement, lack of attendance remains an issue. The empirical results reveal that the increase in enrollment is led by indigenous children and those living in urban areas. Moreover, contrary to common belief, being extremely poor and indigenous are the main determinants of school attendance. Although extremely poor children increased their school attendance, they were not able to reduce child labor. However, for indigenous children school attendance and child labor were substitutes, increasing schooling and reducing child labor.
