Hidden Hands focuses on a specific and neglected area of
contemporary child welfare; that of children's paid work and
labour. This book provides the first cross-cultural examination of
children's productive activities, their relationship to children's
broader social lives, and their implications for the child's
education, welfare and well-being. The contributors look at the
situation both here and overseas. They discuss issues including
conflicts between schooling, education and work in the UK, child
poverty, motivating children to work, children from ethnic
minorities, the work and labour of children in industrialised
countries and the situation in the US, Denmark, Germany and Russia.
Working to be Someone presents an overview of worldwide research on working children that considers children's own views of employment in favour of adult-constructed arguments about child work. This book brings together contributions by internationally renowned researchers who are committed to a 'subject-orientated' approach as well as views and observations of activists from organizations that either work with child labour or support working children's movements. Chapters examine the traditionally widespread care and domestic work carried out by children, discuss localized explorations of working children - for example in Morocco, India and Europe - as well as consider work as a means for children to contribute economically to the family. Contributors also discuss children's movements and organizations in Africa, Asia and South America that claim work as a necessity for survival as well as a key to children's own agency and citizenship. This book is a key text for both academics and social work practitioners that encourages re-evaluation of the notion of childhood and understands the complex phenomenon of working children.
