This article aims to presents and discuss some elements interrelated that allow approaching to child labor phenomenon. Thus, it does not seek to expose a quantitative overview of children (boys and girls), and adolescents situation (NNA for its acronym in Spanish), but to display framework that provides possible prospects for their approach, analysis and interpretation. To achieve this, it was used the legal framework presentation, both internationally and in Mexican context, this last one does not have been frequently addressed in social science research. Also some data is presented which allows illustrating children and adolescents working situation. As a way to justify the importance of this work should it be mentioned that in Mexico there is no comprehensive and interdisciplinary diagnosis of child labor, so it is necessary to deepen into the issue through dialogue across disciplines, perspective and approaches to a nature phenomenon extremely complex which is often invisible.

Keywords : Child labor; Legal conceptualization; Children and adolescents rights; Mexico.
