The organizations that are most influential in the worldwide arena will also be identified, as to the issues they promote and the reformation they seek in many of the developing countries of the world, where child labour is evident in the work force. Such organizations as the ILO, OECD, and the WTO, will be compared to each other in their endorsement (or lack of) of multinational corporations conducting business in India and the threatening business ethics they bring with them.

Recommendations will be made, bringing forth the business ethical issues which are dominant to the scenario, and the conclusion of this analytical report with the issues clearly outlined.

The ILO, "...a tripartite body made up of governments, trade unionists and employers from 173 countries", are at the forefront of organizations who are attempting to regulate employment conditions and regulation around the world (Lane, 1998, p. 25-28). The ILO carried the regulation of minimum age employment, although, India had claimed that it was a country of very different circumstances than that of other western countries, and should therefore be exempt. However, the ILO claims that the minimum age regulation is the only way to eradicate the worst forms of child labour. The ILO, in close conjunction with the International Program on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), are currently concentrating on activities including "...prevention of child labour and the systematic search for alternative solutions in the form of decent employment for parents of child workers and rehabilitation, education, or vocational training offers for children" (http://www.ilo/org./public/english!

Comparatively, the Indian Government, for nearly the identical reasons, has the moral obligation to protect its society from exploitation of not only employment conditions imposed by multinational corporations, but also its own indigenous business.

A business ethical view will be adopted in order to reach draw recommendations as to the moral or immoral acts that are carried out by the use of child labour in India by multinational corporations.

The multinational corporation should, however, feel that it is conducting itself in an immoral way, with the reasoning that it would bot conduct itself in such a manner in operating in its home country. Although, as mentioned in the recommendations, the multinational corporation also has a moral obligation to its stakeholders to pursue profits (which is also in accordance with the OECD). Therefore, the two different viewpoints to the scenario are represented within this report, and delivers conclusive, supported derivations from each view.
