Common misconceptions associated to child labour such as the view that it helps children survive extreme poverty, or that it is inevitable in a developing economy are among the list of 'myths' that the charity refutes in its paper.
Getting the facts straight on the global issue is the important first step to eradicating it, World Vision Australia's advocacy manager Ruth Dearnley stressed.
"One in ten of the world's children over five years of age are currently labouring to the detriment of their health and development, that's 168 million child labourers in the world today," she said.
The paper goes on to explain that child labour worsens the situation of families living in poverty as the child misses out on an education, in turn affecting their ability to work in the future.
"These children are working instead of going to school, and in many cases, are doing so in hazardous and intolerable conditions," Ms Dearnley said.
The release of Unlucky for some: 13 myths about child labour yesterday, coincided with the World Day Against Child Labour.
This year, event coordinator International Labour Organization, called for improved social protection, the implementation of national social security systems in line with children's needs and the reaching out to vulnerable groups of children.
The paper concludes by highlighting the decline in the global figure of child labourers by a third since 2000, and called on the Government, businesses and individuals to take action to ensure the continuation of this trend.
