In the context of AIDS and a declining economy, one strategy for
children to ensure their own livelihood is to engage in domestic
employment. Here, Michael Bourdillon presents the findings of
research based on interviews and discussions with child domestic
workers in Zimbabwe. It looks at the circumstances that pushed them
into employment, the hardships and humiliations they face therein,
as well as the benefits they derive, including, in some cases,
education. Most children wanted improvements in their living and
working conditions. They did not want to be stopped from working,
perceiving that this would worsen their already harsh lives. While
child domestic wok is problematic, and often lays children open to
various types of abuse, it can also offer critical support and
patronage to very disadvantaged children.
