According to our experience with the Stop Child Labour Coalition and the Work No Child's Business programme essential to eliminate child labour is a living wage or living income as well as norm and attitude change. Next to that is of great importance access to quality education. We have good experiences with the Child Labour Free Zone approach whereby all stakeholders in an area/village/district are aware that each child should be in school. This approach includes teachers, business operators, plantation owners, parents, health workers etc. All have a responsibilty to ensure their area becomes child labour free. It is a labour intensive approach whereby school registars are checked on a daily basis, home visits and community meetings to discuss the issues held regularly.
