Description
Child exploitation is one of the most serious ethical issues that entrepreneurs, businesses and consumers must be aware of. Child labour has been deemed as unethical and illegal globally, yet there are millions of cases around the world where children are taken advantage of.
In this 3-part workshop exploring Sustainable Development Goal #8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, students are provided with information, discussion questions, videos and case studies to learn about the right to good working conditions, the root causes of child exploitation and child labour and how globally, this is still a problem for many young workers.
