This article reflects on measures taken to end the exploitation of child labor in Brazil. It presents the current public policies designed to eliminate child labor in the country including laws, income transfer programs and educational programs – and uses census data to reveal the persistence of child labor. It also shows that although public policies for eliminating child labor are important, the problem persists because the measures used to confront it do not reach the roots of the problem.Downloads
