Oxford Dictionary
Page Description
Understand the global issue of child labour, its causes,
consequences, and the ongoing efforts to eliminate it
and protect children’s rights.
Child labour refers to any work done by children that deprives them of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend school, and harms their physical and mental development. Some of the key points about child labour are:
Child labour is a violation of children’s rights: Child labour deprives children of their right to education, health, and a safe childhood. It violates the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Poverty is a major cause of child labour: Many families living in poverty send their children to work in order to supplement their income. This often leads to children dropping out of school and working long hours in hazardous conditions.
Child labour is a global issue: Child labour exists in many countries around the world, including developing and developed countries.
Hazardous and exploitative forms of child labour: Children are often forced to work in dangerous conditions, such as mines, factories, and fields. They may also be subjected to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
Education is key to ending child labour: Education is one of the most effective ways to end child labour. By ensuring that children have access to quality education, they are less likely to drop out of school and more likely to have better opportunities in the future.
Businesses have a responsibility to address child labour: Businesses have a responsibility to ensure that their supply chains are free from child labour. They can do this by conducting regular audits of their suppliers and implementing policies to prevent child labour.
Government action is crucial: Governments have a responsibility to protect children from child labour by enforcing laws and policies that prohibit child labour and providing support to families living in poverty.
Overall, child labour is a complex issue that requires the cooperation of governments, businesses, and civil society to address effectively.

11 Celebrating World Day Against Child Labor | UNICEF
15 jun. 2009
World Day Against Child Labour, celebrated on 12 June, this year highlights the continuing challenges to eliminating the worst forms of child labour, with a focus on exploitation of girls. Here is a related story.
KIPUSHI, Democratic Republic of Congo, 12 June 2009 Covered in powder, Sylvian, 2, sits alongside his mother, pounding rocks with a mallet in an ore heap in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rocks, dust and sun: This is the only life Sylvian has known.
According to Article 32 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, children have the right to be protected from economic exploitation. Through the efforts of Group One, a UNICEF-supported Belgian non-governmental organization, this is starting to happen in DR Congo.
Group One and UNICEF are working to remove children from the hazardous working conditions in the quarry and get them back to school.
“One of the things we need to do is try to take these children out of this economy,” says Pierrette Vu Thi. “It means working on building social protection systems and helping these children’s families by giving them the means to send the children to school.”

Should We Rethink the Ban on Child Labour?
The Inquiry
Most countries in the world have signed up to the idea that no child should work at all under a certain age – but is this the best approach? This week Nicolle, a 17 year old from Peru, has been part of a delegation of child labourers visiting the UN to ask them to rethink their ban on child labour. She’s been working since she was 8 years old, and says not only did her family need the money she earned, but working brought her status and respect. Some charities and experts working with child labourers agree that there are safe forms of child work. They say non-hazardous work can allow children to help their families, gain life skills, and even pay for the school uniforms and equipment they need to stay in education. But the UN and other former child labourers disagree, saying an outright ban is the only way to protect children from exploitation. We ask whether it’s time to rethink the ban on child labour.

13 – The Young Indian Labourers Losing Their Childhood
23 mei 2016
They work in the carpet industry, in agriculture, in households and factories: 250 million children between the age of 5-14 work according to the International Labour Organisation in Geneva. In southern India the match and fireworks industries are based at home. It’s becoming more difficult to film. The owners forbid entry or quickly send the children away when a film team arrives. It is illegal to employ children under the age of 15 but despite this hundreds of thousands are working. The law is not worth the paper it’s written on.

10 mei 2017
Sky News has returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to try to find two young boys we met previously, who were working in one of the country’s many cobalt mines. A charity has offered to educate and care for them.
More than half the world’s supply of cobalt is in the DRC. It’s used extensively in smartphones.
Multinational corporations have promised to improve conditions for child miners – but as Sky’s special correspondent Alex Crawford found out – there’s little evidence of that in the former Katanga Province.

The 1900 US Federal Census revealed that 1.75 million children under the age of 16, more than one in five, were gainfully employed. They worked all over the country in cotton mills, glass blowing factories, sardine canneries, farms, and even coal mines. In an effort to expose this exploitation of children, the National Child Labor Committee hired a photographer to travel around the country and investigate and report on the labor conditions of children.
Lewis Wickes Hine photographed and interviewed kids, some as young as 4 years old, and published his findings in various Progressive magazines and newspapers. Once the public saw the plight of these children, state legislatures were pressured to pass bills regulating labor for workers under the age of 18, effectively bringing an end to child labor in the United States.

In Nepal, over a million young children are working, many in brick factories. 11-year-old Arvind has been working for the past three years making around $1.75 a day.
The law strictly prohibits the employment of children under the age of 14, and is a crime punishable by a year of imprisonment and a fine. Yet around 10 percent of the workers in brick factories are underaged.
