Combating child labour in the agricultural sector in Namibia: The role of the ministry of labour

Working children are the object of exploitation in terms of toiling for long hours for minimal pay. Their working conditions are severe, often not providing the stimulation for proper physical and mental development. There are no easy solutions to combat child labour. Many children have to work to go to school and to supplement the family income, stopping these children from work is stopping them to go to school. Labour inspectors in the Ministry of Labour should create awareness on the effects of child labour and the government should come up with adequate alternatives to help the children [to be] withdrawn from work
