Bolivia Legalizes Child Labor
LA PAZ (AFP) – Bolivia passed a law Thursday authorizing children to work from age 10, saying the rule is necessary due to realities in the impoverished country where kids join the labor market prematurely.
The reduced legal limit has come under fire from critics who said it opens the door to allowing more children to work from a younger age.

IMHO we should call on ALL companies with Headquarters outside of Bolivia to pledge not to employ anyone under the age 16 anywhere on the planet, and not to allow any contractors, subcontractors or suppliers to do so.
