China threatens employers of child labour with jail

Business owners in China who make children do dangerous work at construction sites, mines or sweatshops are to face jail under tough new sentencing guidelines.

China's state media says hiring children to do excessively heavy physical jobs or work under harmful conditions can now cost an employer up to seven years in jail.

The new directive, issued by the Supreme People's Court and the top prosecutor's office, increases the maximum sentence for activities that were already deemed illegal under previous rules.

Under China's Compulsory Education Law, children below the age of 16 are not allowed to have full-time jobs, as they are supposed to be attending school.
