Childhood and Citizenship
The latter part of the Twentieth Century saw an increasing recognition of children's claims to citizenship. Significant inroads were made towards children's rights, placed onto the global agenda by the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989.

In this article I show how children's experience of work moved from the 'public' world of the street and w…
