Open file in Google DriveRead full text

De Waarheid, 15 Dec 1954, p. 5: summary of an article by Pariani, Gerwani board member, in Harian Rakjat on child labour on Indonesian plantations. She notes laws banning it and unequal pay are not applied in practice; Dutch rubber estates use a quota system so families must bring wives and children to work. She urges joint worker action, school-building and a compulsory education law.

De Waarheid, 15 Des 1954, hlm. 5: ringkasan artikel Pariani, pengurus pusat Gerwani, di Harian Rakjat tentang buruh anak di perkebunan Indonesia. Ia mencatat larangan hukum dan upah setara tidak diterapkan; perkebunan karet Belanda memakai sistem kuota sehingga keluarga membawa istri dan anak bekerja. Ia menyerukan aksi buruh bersama, pembangunan sekolah, dan UU wajib belajar.
