Dongguan Municipal Government issued the "View on Establishing and Consummating Employment Long-term Mechanism Against Introducing and Using Child Labor" on July 14.
According to the statement, employment agencies or employers who introduce or use child labor will be severely punished. Units or individuals who introduce child labor for employment will be punished CNY5000 per child; companies that use child labor will be fined CNY5000 for one child per month; employment agencies that introduce the use of child labor will be closed.
Dongguan Municipal Government has also set up special bounty for reporting illegal child labor, while telephone numbers of relative functioning departments will soon be announced.
In late April 2008, child labor from Liangshan of Sichuan province was exposed by local media. Since then, Dongguan has begun to examine the 124 employment agencies — of which 12 are illegal — and 10 children were found in six companies.
