    Child labor in Iran: Problems and solutions
    (Cheshmandaz-e Iran, 2010) Makki Alamdari, Sara
    This work describes causes and consequences of a social problem of child labor in Iran. Poverty, discrimination, and inequality are the main causes of this social phenomenon in Iran, which leads to children’s abuse and deprivation. In this case, some children like girls and Afghan and Iraqi refugees’ children are more vulnerable. This work discusses how we can approach to this problem at the micro, meso, and macro levels to mitigate its negative effects on children in labor. It is recommended for people who concern regarding the conditions of child laborers to refer this group of children to existing non-governmental organizations that deliver educational and supportive services to them. It is also critical for the government to improve social welfare system through providing insurances for children in labor. Most importantly, it is necessary for the government and civil society to work together to eliminate child labor. Public awareness-raising is also imperative to improve people’s empathy regrading the condition of children in labor.

    Unmasking the Doctored Image of Foreign Aid: A Mirror Model
    (2006) Gentle-Genitty, Carolyn
    Foreign aid is primarily a wealth transfer mechanism from rich, developed countries to poor, developing countries. Throughout the world, developing countries have received billions in aid to assist in their social welfare development and rise from poverty. Yet, there are still many in poverty. This paper examines the impact, if any, on social welfare development in the recipient countries because of foreign aid from donor countries.
