Child Labour in Bolivia

Business Daily

Available for over a year

A change in the law in Bolivia allowing children as young as 10 to work is raising fears for the human rights of the country's youth. Katy Watson reports from there. And we hear from Lars Johansen a senior child labour specialist at the International Labour Organisation about Bolivia and beyond, to find out how prevalent the problem of children being expected to participate in the workforce really is. And Lucy Kellaway considers the macho world of foreign exchange trading.
