Summary: In the book “Children at Work” Page 89 to Page 108, Anne Kielland and Maurizia Tovo talk focus on the “Child labor in the commercial labor market” (Pg 89). The first market mentioned by Kielland and Tovo is the “commercial agriculture” (Pg 91) which points out the development countries hair the children work for their commercial products in Africa and the children are always underpay. In addition, authors showed another big market which called “domestic service” (Pg 94). This part introduced the children who do the “house servants” (Pg 95) jobs. Moreover, the authors analysis how the child labors work for the “Petty Trade”(Pg99) and their suffering.

Reading Critique
In these 20 pages, authors want to state that the commercial market supports the child labor in different way. They discussed how the commercial market and child labor effect to each other do. Authors give the examples and their experiences in Africa from Page 89 to Page 95 and give the analysis from Page 95 to Page 101.
I agree with the authors’ opinion. The commercial market and the child labor do not exist separately. They effect to each other and develop by both influences. In the example about an Africa child who works as house revenants in this book Page 98. He says that they know the market is not legal and they cannot be traded well, but they must work for live. As the author says in the analysis part, this kind of mind just give more opportunities to the employer and the people who do the child labor trade. They build a bad condition for the child labor because they know the child labor must to work even in this condition.
From Page 89 to Page 101, all the examples and analysis about the children work for commercial agriculture, domestic service and for the bar and restraint can support my opinion.

In the book “Children at work” by Anne kielland and Maurizia Tovo (2006) Page 20 to Page 40. Authors continue talking about the detail causes of child labor. Kielland and Tovo first mention the “Ruralization”(Page 23, 2006) cause the child labor. Then they analysis the relationship between “women and child labor” (Page 27). After that, authors focus on the “foster and the child labor” (Page 31). In addition, Kielland and Tovo introduce a dark business for selling the child labor, which they called “child labor trafficking” (Page 34). Finally, they stated another cause which is “sexual trafficking” (Page 37).
