Description[?]:
Allowing children to work and contribute to the family coffers will improve their skills, instil discipline, encourage an awareness of people from different backgrounds, foster an entrepreneurial spirit and reduce poverty.

Message | We do believe some very limited amount of child labour, e.g. paper-rounds, should be permitted. However, we cannot accept that child labour should be "unregulated" - so that children receive even less legal protection and even fewer legal rights at work than adults - this is monstrous. |
