Most historical studies of child labour have tended to confirm a
narrative which witnesses the gradual disappearance of child labour
in Western Europe as politicians and social reformers introduced
successive legislation, gradually removing children from the
workplace. This approach fails to explain the return or continuance
of child labour in many affluent European societies. Centuries of
Child Labour explains changes in past child labour and attitudes to
working children in a way that helps explain the continued survival
of the practice from the seventeenth through to the late twentieth
centuries. Centuries of Child Labour conveys a richer sense of
child labour by comparing the experiences of the Northern European
periphery to the paradigmatic cases of Britain,and France. The
northern cases, drawing heavily on empirical evidence from Sweden,
Finland and Russia, test received ideas of child labour, through
comparisons with Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Presenting the children themselves as the main protagonists, rather
than the law makers, industrialists and social commentators of the
time, Marjatta Rahikainen provides fresh information and
perspectives, offering revelations to readers familiar only with
the situation in France and Britain.
