[Child labor in the artisan sector of Morocco: determinants and health effects].

Despite the fact that child labour is regulated through the work code, and the convention on child rights adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1989 and ratified by Morocco in 1993, multiple surveys have shown that children are often put to work at a very early age and few employers respect the work conditions laid out in the texts. The aim of this study was to assess the different situations of child labour in the handicraft sector, the reasons and the problems surrounding it, to study its repercussions on health and to propose several preventive measures. From March to July 1997, a retrospective cohort study of working children and children in school was carried out in a small neighbourhood of Casablanca. We interviewed and examined a random sample of two hundred children working in the handicraft sector. The health status of these children was compared to that of the same sample size of children in school, from the same age group and socio-economic status. Each subject was given a standardized questionnaire that was translated into dialectal Arabic and administered by a occupational health doctor and a communications specialist. The results of the study have pointed out the small school network of the working children, the painful conditions of work and the important consequences on their health state with a wide prevalence of pathologies higher than for the children attending school. The misery in addition of the rural exodus, the no-adapted educative and socio-economic systems, the splitting of the family unit often go to generate a submissive childhood without defense and "ready to be used".

[Analysis of pregnancy, labor, child development and disease course in women with Hodgkin's disease].

Twenty pregnancies were observed in 16 women with Hodgkin's disease. During 3 pregnancies cytostatic treatment was given. In 6 cases the disease was diagnosed in pregnancy and the treatment was started after labour. Eleven pregnancies were diagnosed during remission, after a mean period of 4 years (range: 6 months to 8 years) from the completion of treatment. All pregnancies had a normal course and labours were not complicated. In 2 cases of successive pregnancies disease recurrence developed. in 1 case the active disease was exacerbated. Twenty healthy babies were born, in one low birth weight was noted. The development of all children in a period of 6 years, on average, was normal.
