If trade unions are to reverse the membership decline sustained since 1979, more young workers must be recruited. This paper examines the views of young workers towards trade unions by reference to survey data. It argues that there is little evidence of a 'Thatcher's children' effect in which principled opposition to trade unionism is widespread. Instead the paper shows that shifts in the labour market, the effects of employer resistance to trade unionism and union inefficiencies have a marked effect on the unionisation of young workers.

The book summarises the nature and extent of the child labour problem; gives examples of trade union activities in the campaign against child labour; sets out a framework for action based on these case studies; and examines the international response to child labour.
