Preferred term

child labor and education  

Definition

  • Child labor has generally been understood to be work that interferes with a child's education and, therefore, has a negative effect on his or her development. In contrast to child labor, child work is an acceptable and, in some cases, even positive form of child employment that does not interfere with schooling and play.
