In spite of treaties and international conventions addressing the economic exploitation of children, the control of child labour remains elusive. It is estimated that over 320 million children are working worldwide, most in hazardous conditions. These heart-wrenching portraits are a call to action for all of us to be aware of this complex and tragic problem.

"Before Their Time: The World of Child Labor takes individual responsibility for occupational safety beyond our own workplaces, puts European health and safety debates into perspective and challenges the reader to consider moral and political issues on a global scale."
