While almost half are in occupations that put their safety at risk, the other half have 'gray' jobs like industrial farming or selling candy on the street. Children in these positions often defend the value of their work, and some even join social movements to demand the 'right to work with dignity.' In Good Kids, Isabel Jijon reveals how global campaigns against child labor are often met with resistance from the very children they are meant to protect. Conducting interviews in Bolivia and Ecuador with children who defend their labor, Jijon explores what they mean by 'value,' 'rights,' and 'dignity' in this context.
