While it is necessary to acknowledge the role of poverty as a cause of child labour, the poverty excuse used in the debates on child labour is not only an insufficient explanation, but in fact damaging and detri-mental in perpetuating child labour and thus poverty itself, trapping child labourers and their societies at large in the poverty – child labour cycle. Instead, formal education is a key strategy in combating child labour, and also a way of addressing poverty in the long run.
This is not to suggest that education is merely regarded as a strategy, but is rather seen as an inherent right of every human being hindered by conditions such as child labour. Therefore eliminating child labour is a strategy in securing and ensuring the right of educational opportunities for all, since it promotes de-moc(k)racy and equal opportunities.
