My thesis studies the history and regulations of child labor in general and in the chocolate industry, reasons behind the legalization of child labor in Africa, mental effect of child labor on children, health consequences of child labor, issues and challenges of child labor, chocolate brands and the child labor, certification of chocolate companies, and ethical chocolate companies. I would like to identify the companies that are still working in the chocolate industry with child labor included.
