Child Domestic Work. Innocenti Digest 5.
Black, Maggie, Comp.; Blagbrough, Jonathan, Comp.
Child "domestics" or "domestic workers" are defined here as children under the age of 18 who work in other people's households, doing domestic chores, caring for children and running errands, among other tasks. This digest focuses mainly on the situation of live-in child domestics, that is, children who work full time in exchange for room, board, care, and sometimes remuneration. The digest is divided into the following sections: "Introduction"; "What We Know about Child Domestic Workers"; "The Implications of Their Work for Child Domestic Workers"; "Challenges for Practitioners: Project Responses"; "Challenges for Practitioners: Research and Advocacy; and Is Regulation Possible?" Contains information about some of the major intergovernmental organizations and international and regional nongovermental organizations (NGOs) working on issues addressing child domestic work. Includes extensive selected readings and general references. (BT)
