Child Labour, Education, and the Principle of Non-Discrimination
This chapter addresses how the use of the human rights principle
of non-discrimination can influence understanding of the various
dimensions of child labour. It starts by presenting the human
rights framework for analyzing child labour and education. It
also considers how to overcome discrimination against girls in
terms of child labour. The data shows the significance of using
the human rights principle of non-discrimination to analyse the
link between school attendance and child labour. Some reasons
why children in sub-Saharan Africa are not attending school are
reported as well. Furthermore, several recommendations for
policy are given. Oxford Scholarship Online requires a
