The country’s export-oriented strategy poses an
aggravating influence on the increasing incidence of child
work in the country.
This is what the findings of the specialized survey
done by the Institute indicate. There appear to be conditions that predispose child work to
be used in the production of some export markets in the
country, specifically the garments industry.
These include the prevalence of subcontracting
arrangements that provide readily accessible job
opportunities for children; the low level of consciousness
among employers and the child workers themselves of the
safety and health concerns at the workplace; and that most
of the child workers are school drop-outs.
Though the study needs to be further explored, it
has helped in identifying some empirical evidences that
link the export-oriented strategy to the incidence of
child labor in the country.
