في ضرورة القضاء على عمل الطفل : على ضوء القانون الدولي و الجزائري

الملخص EN

International law plays a key role on combating child labour, especially when they are exploited for economic purposes or submitted to the worst forms of work.

Nevertheless, the effectiveness on the ground lies squarely with the Algerian government and national authorities that must take legislative, economic, social and cultural measures, but above all repressive actions in order to overcome this scourge.

However, having a legal framework can only be regarded as the first step in a longer process and the biggest challenge would be to find a way to enforce these laws, especially since child labour is often part of the informal economy.

Although Algeria ratified the majority of international treaties prohibiting this practice and undertook several initiatives to deal with it, the data show that many children are still exploited for economic purposes and even involved in the worst forms of child labour.

long processus, et le plus grand défi demeure de parvenir à faire appliquer ces lois, d'autant plus que le travail des enfants s’inscrit le plus souvent dans le cadre de l'économie informelle voire cachée.
