Children's hands raised in the air
Governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations, civil society organizations, UN entities, regional partners and the media play an important role to keep the fight against child labour high on the agenda, advocate for the “right” policies and mobilize political and financial support. ?

Action

SDGs and the elimination of child labour

Goal 8 of the , adopted by the world leaders in 2015, () calls on all to take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of all forms of child labour by 2025 as an essential step to achieving decent work for all, full and productive employment and inclusive and sustained economic growth.

ILO action on the abolition of child labour has intensified over the last four years and significant advances have been made since the first Global Report on the subject. The challenge over the next four years will be for the ILO to work in a more focused and strategic way to act as the catalyst of a re-energized global alliance in support of national action to abolish child labour. This transformation in approach to global leadership will ensure that the ILO will contribute more effectively to consigning child labour to history.

The ILO promotes specific action on the following fronts:

 

  • Universal ratification of the ILO child labour Conventions and all the ILO core Conventions.
  • Ensuring a new focus on national policies and programmes to promote an integrated approach to all fundamental principles and rights at work.
  • Broadening integrated area based approaches to tackle the root causes of child labour.
  • Aligning the minimum age for admission to employment and the age for completion of compulsory schooling.
  • Strengthening workplace safety and health for all workers, but with specific safeguards for children between the minimum age for admission to employment and the age of 18 by preparing and/or updating hazardous child labour lists.
  • Promoting and strengthening the functioning of institutions and mechanisms aimed at monitoring the effective application and enforcement of fundamental rights at work including protection against child labour, (courts, tribunals, magistrates, labour inspectors and child labour monitoring).
  • Continuing development of advocacy and strategic partnerships at international, national and community level and promoting the worldwide movement against child labour.
  • Replicating and expanding good practices that have produced sustainable results.

Child Labour Platform (CLP)

The CLP aims to identify the obstacles to the implementation of the ILO Conventions in supply chains and surrounding communities, identify practical ways of overcoming these obstacles, and catalyse collective action. !
