Summary/Abstract: The exploitation of the child and the abuses of any nature against him have represented a subject of debate for international organisms and organisations. In the wide area of the forms of exploitation, subjecting the child to labour is the most used one. This may have different forms: subjection to very difficult labours, the violation of the minimum age for employment or to obligation to perform activities violating the child’s right to dignity. Among the factors which determine this phenomenon we mention: poverty or the negative influence of the child’s legal representatives. Under such conditions, without prohibiting their right to labour, it has been considered as vital the adoption of national and international normative acts establishing certain limitations within which a child could perform a remunerated activity.
