SED IE 493 - Child Labor,Children's Rights,and EducationChild

Institution:

Boston University

Subject:

Description:

labor and education are currently understood to be antithetical activities for children; few welfare agencies and educational institutions are able to combine these two spheres of activity in a harmonious fashion. Where countries of the developing world believe that child labor is an inherent result of their socio-economic reality, the developed world refuses to acknowledge the necessity for survival that drives children to labor. This course will challenge students to think about the meaning and definition of child labor and how it differs from child work, if at all. It will also require students to debate the contemporary and traditional uses of children, including and extending beyond their use as manual labor and economic assets. Comparisons will be made between the United States and India. Pandey. 2 cr, 1st sem.
