Where is the (age) limit? Consequences of child labour and possible solutions
Keywords:
child labour, macroeconomical effects, international organizationsAbstract
Many problems can be found in developing countries, out of which some have an effect on developed regions as well. An example to these problems is child labour. It is important to deal with this as child labour has serious macroeconomic consequences that can influence the growth and the development of the country. Many national and international solutions have been worked out to solve the problem and many of them have had serious results, but the employment of children is still a big issue.
