| Synopsis: |
Based on studies on child labour in both the regular part of the tourist industry and in its "twilight zone" in four major tourist destinations where child work was common - Kenya, Mexico, the Philippines and Sri Lanka - this report challenges many assumptions about child involvement in the industry, and highlights the distorting effect of sensationalist reporting on "child sex". Youthful good looks and charm are often key qualifications for jobs in bars and hotels, and employees may be exposed to sexual enticement, but many girls described as "child prostitutes" in journalistic accounts actually work in the "twilight zone" rather than in brothels. This book argues for a better understanding of the dynamics of employment and career paths of these young workers. |
