This report delves into the multifaceted issue of child labour within global supply chains. It begins by defining the concept of a supply chain and its importance in contemporary business. The main body of the report presents a comparative analysis of arguments both for and against banning all forms of child labour. Arguments in favor emphasize the detrimental impacts on children's education, health, and overall well-being, referencing reports from the BBC and the International Labour Organisation. Conversely, arguments against a complete ban suggest that child labour, when managed and monitored, can provide children with practical life skills and financial support. The report concludes that, while acknowledging the complexities and potential benefits, child labour is a crime and needs to be stopped to ensure compliance with government regulations and to protect children from exploitation. The report draws on various academic sources to support its claims, highlighting the importance of ethical sourcing and sustainable supply chain practices. The analysis underscores the need for awareness, strict enforcement, and the protection of children's rights within global supply chains.
