本文根据加纳的历史资料和人种学实地调查，将可可社区的童工现象描述为无数复杂微观因素的结果。它认为，由于缺乏对影响可可生产社区儿童权利的社会和历史背景的了解，解决这一问题的许多政策举措都受到阻碍。它还认为，通过使人们对不良劳动实践的家庭层面及其背后的多种因素有更基础和对性别敏感的理解，民族志对关于不自由劳动的辩论做出了重要贡献。
Based on historical sources and ethnographic fieldwork in Ghana, the article presents child labour in cocoa communities as the outcome of a complex myriad of micro-level factors. It argues that many policy initiatives to address this problem have been hindered by a lack of understanding of the social and historical context impacting child rights in cocoa-producing communities. It also argues that by enabling a more grounded and gender-sensitive understanding of the household dimension of poor labour practices and of the plurality of factors underlying them, ethnography makes an important contribution to debates on unfree labour.
