Child labour in Zimbabwe and the rights of the child

View Item Record

Description:

Child labour in Zimbabwe can be found on large scale farms, in the peasant sector, in formal domestic employment, in the small scale industries of the informal sector, in contract work in some industries, and in 'street' jobs. The real extent of child labour in each of these sectors is unknown, and the conditions under which children workhavenotbeen documented inany detail. The reasons for thepresence of child labour, and the conditions under which they work, are at odds with the rights of children outlined in the Draft UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and will persist while society and the economy continue to generate extremes of poverty and wealth.
