Should International Law Remain the Vehicle for Implementing Policy Objectives?
Alexandra A. ForterThis paper offers a brief analysis of the policy tools available to eradicate child labor in informal markets. The analysis utilizes two case studies from Central America to suggest the distinct manifestations of informality within general work activities. By expanding upon recent work to document specific factories utilizing informal arrangements for child labor, this paper seeks to establish the limitations of international law and the need for local, redistributive approaches.Published: Chicago Policy Review (Volume 9, No. 1, 2005).
