'A Will of Their Own' by Manfred Liebel

Children's work is currently on the increase all over the world in processes closely linked to globalisation. This book shows how children's work can take on widely differing forms; and how it can both harm and benefit children. Differing in approach from most other work in the field, it endeavours to understand working children from their own perspective. Particular attention is paid to the children's experiences and hopes, especially their attempts to find a public voice and fight together against exploitation and discrimination.
