From the Paper:
"Based on the definition given by the International Labor Office, the term "child labor" is connected to economic activity, as well as, hazardous work. It is different from other children who are "12 years and older who are working only a few hours a week in permitted light work and those aged 15 years and above whose work is not classified as hazardous" (International Labor Office, Geneva 6). Children suffering from child labor are those who are below the age of 18, who do hard work for at least one hour for about half of the working days per week. Whether they are paid or unpaid, part time or full time, on casual or on regular basis or whether it is legal or illegal appears to be insignificant so long as the type of work is too heavy and difficult for their age and their capacity.
