Description
Summary:The ILO has been reviewing what is known about the problem of hazardous work of children and examining "good practices" in dealing with it. This report offers a summary of this knowledge and practice and proposes how we might move forward. The report is divided into three parts. The first provides a general overview of the issue. It discusses hazardous work of children in terms of how it is defined, how many children are affected, and why, from a health and a legal standpoint, children require special protection. The second part considers the research evidence regarding the problem and positive initiatives in addressing it. The third and final part gathers the threads from the previous parts together into a conceptual framework that aims to show what a coordinated, comprehensive effort to stop hazardous work of children should look like.
