Child labour is one of the biggest barriers to educational attendance and completion. The International Labour Organization and UNICEF have published the latest data on Child Labour.
“Child labour still affects nearly 138 million children worldwide; 54 million of these children are in hazardous work. Over the last four years, the world has returned to a path of progress to end child labour, but despite recent gains, the fight against child labour will continue for decades into the future without rapidly accelerating progress.”
