Bibliography

Parental Perceptions of Child Labour and Human Rights


 * Illustrates how parents in rural and urban areas of Ghana view child labor
 * Child labor is viewed as a cultural norm which “teaches children work ethics”
 * Parents additionally argue that child labor teaches children about socialization, which will benefit them later on in their lives
 * The reason I picked this source is because I believe it will help me understand the cultural believes of why parents employ their children. I believe it is essential to understand the consideration of locals in order to fully understand child labor and youth migration.

Child Labor in Ghana: Implications for Children’s Education and Health


 * This source talks about the causes of child labor. Causes include poverty, lack of enforcement of education, and not followed labor laws
 * The source additionally outlines the short- and long-term consequences of child labor
 * The reason I chose this source is because it provides an insight into the different factors which contribute to child labor.
 * The source additionally highlights that a lack of government intervention is a major contributor to child labor.
 * Additionally, I believe understanding the long-term consequences is significant, because it provides an explanation as to why the future generation has more child labor than the former.

Youth Migration: Adventure and Suffering


 * Romano’s essay talks about the misusage of the term “child trafficking” and outlines that “youth migration” may be a more accurate term to describe the situation in Africa
 * The source highlights the positive sides of child trafficking for labor elsewhere. These positive aspects include starting over and receiving better opportunities in other parts of the world.
 * The reason I chose to include this source is because it provides an alternative view to an issue that has been considered “bad” for decades. This source will help me in my needs talk, because it provides an understanding that often times people (especially NGOs and political figures) create victims.
 * I believe this source is essential, because it illustrates other factors which are not taken into consideration when victimizing a group of people. Additionally, it emphasizes the power-dynamic struggle, which Katz has touched upon earlier.

Ghana – Child Labor Statistics in 2018


 * This is a report that emphasizes the importance of reducing child labor in Ghana, by outlining the number of individuals who are deprived from schooling and forced to work.
 * Additionally, the report shows suggestions on how to reduce child labor in Ghana. It includes legal frameworks, enforcement methods, and government policies in place and their effectiveness.
 * The reason I chose this source was to illustrate that there are in fact laws in place to reduce child labor, however, that Ghana fails to enforce these.
 * This report is different to the previous sources I found, because it highlights the negative aspects of child labor, such as children working under the legal working age.
 * I believe this will be extremely useful for my needs talk, because factual accuracy will illustrate what is truly needed in Ghana and what is made a need, as Fraser argued.

Child Labour and UNICEF in Action: Children at the Centre


 * This source introduces the negative consequences of child labor on the child. These consequences are both on the child’s health, education, and long-term poverty.
 * The source additionally outlines the conditions children are in, when in the work force. This includes hideous conditions, violence, and sexual assault.
 * The reason I chose this source is because instead of just focusing on Ghana it focuses on child labor as an international issue. I believe this is essential, because it illustrates the presence of labor for underaged children worldwide.
 * Understanding the issue as a whole, will illustrate which law enforcements have worked in the past, and which efforts have not had any impact. This will be extremely useful for my practice experience, because it will allow me to make predictions regarding how useful planned actions may or may not be.

Michael's Edits

-- First off, great usage of your sources Clara it seems like you know exactly what information is important to flesh out the details of your Wiki page. I look forward to reading the fully written sentences after you move on from bullet formatting. Also, I think your last source Child Labour and UNICEF in Action: Children at the Centre is interesting because it doesn't focus on only one negative aspect of child labour; a broad understanding is important for the Wiki tone. Good job!
