Centuries of Child Labour argues that some of the conventional wisdom on child labour can be qualified and even questioned if we turn from the experiences of leading 19th century countries such as Britain and France to economically and politically weaker countries of Northern Europe. Taking a long term perspective from the seventeenth to the twentieth century Marjatta Rahikainen conveys a richer sense of child labour by comparing the experiences of the Northern European (Scandinavian) periphery to the paradigmatic cases of Britain and France.
