Child slavery in the artisanal mining and quarrying sector 2011, para. 103
Paragraph
Paragraph text
For adults who continue to mine and quarry, Governments should also provide alternative livelihoods through which they can supplement the family income. This would increase the economic security of the families and diminish their need for child labour. A proven effective strategy in fighting child slavery is to promote the development of other activities which diversify the local economy and render it less dependent on this sector.
Legal status
