Child slavery in the artisanal mining and quarrying sector 2011, para. 68
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Studies show that such child slavery not only has a negative impact on the health, well-being and education of the child, but also later has a negative economic impact on communities and countries. According to the findings of these studies, children who work are more likely to have children who will also work and not go to school. Consequently, the poverty gets passed on from one generation to another.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
