| Abstract |
In this chapter I first argue that working children's movements are the logical outcome of a global economic order that has made attempts at regulating child labour through legal means obsolete. Second, I highlight why working children's movements do not want their work to be abolished. Finally, I discuss the claims put forward by working children's movements and tease out critical questions for further research on childhood in today's globalized world.
