As with the Indian children enslaved in the looms, these children often come with the initial cooperation of their parents. Fishermen visit villages in the surrounding countryside in order to recruit children. With schooling hard to obtain and family incomes around the starvation level, parents will sometimes agree to let their children go in order to gain a 200,000 cedi (about $28) “advance” on their child’s labor.
