Fighting Child Labour with quality education
On the occasion of World Day against Child Labour, Guy Ryder, Director-General International Labour Organization, made a statement on child labour: "Fighting Child Labour with quality education". You can read the statement here.
Around the world, millions of children need to work for their survival. Besides the fact that this is unacceptable, this work often is dangerous and unhealthy, too. The International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) was created in 1992 with the overall goal of the progressive elimination of child labour, which was to be achieved through strengthening the capacity of countries to deal with the problem and promoting a worldwide movement to combat child labour. IPEC currently has operations in 88 countries and is the biggest single operational programme of the ILO.
All information and facts on the programme and on child labourn are available on the IPEC website.
