Child labour: Training course on 'Laws, policies and reporting tools - supporting the fight against child labour'

The ILO estimates that there are still 215 million children caught in child labour, of whom 115 million are exposed to hazardous work, a measure of which is often used as a proxy for the worst forms of child labour. These estimates show that the problem of child labour is still immense. Its elimination requires a concerted effort by governments, international organizations, employers, workers, NGOs, local communities, the children themselves and their parents. The ILO has the competence to combat child labour through its standards-related work, its research and the numerous programmes and projects which it carries out on all continents. Its International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) continues to develop a sound body of knowledge and practical experience, including lessons learned, good practice, and strategies and actions that are effective in tackling the problem.

We work closely with IPEC to share the Organisation’s knowledge and practical experience of fighting child labour through capacity-building. To this end, we offer training in:

• legislative and policy responses to child labour
• eliminating harmful child labour practices in agriculture
• tackling the labour dimension of trafficking in human beings, with a focus on children
• education policy development and child labour elimination
• economic reintegration of conflict-affected children
• analysing child labour data
