Child labour widespread in Lebanon

January 30, 2008

The end of the war in 1990 brought a fragile peace to Lebanon, but also social ills the country had not encountered before. Child labour is one of them. Now more than 10 percent of children, some as young as 10, work to feed themselves and their families. It's a poor record for one of the most developed countries in the Middle East.
