INTRODUCTION
Unfortunately, children always
suffer first. Not only 158 million
children are involved in work, 72
million of them are in heavy,
life-threatening work and
working longer hours
01
The WHAT & HOW
Child labor is work that harms children or keeps them from attending school. Around the world and in
the U. S., growing gaps between rich and poor in recent decades have forced millions of young
children out of school and into work. The International Labor Organization estimates that 215 million
children between the ages of 5 and 17 currently work under conditions that are considered illegal,
hazardous, or extremely exploitative. Underage children work at all sorts of jobs around the world,
usually because they and their families are extremely poor. Large numbers of children work in
commercial agriculture, fishing, manufacturing, mining, and domestic service. Some children work in
illicit activities like the drug trade and prostitution or other traumatic activities such as serving as
soldiers

“We are losing ground in the fight against child labour, and the last year has not made
that fight any easier,” said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. “Now, well into a
second year of global lockdowns, school closures, economic disruptions, and shrinking
national budgets, families are forced to make heart-breaking choices. We urge
governments and international development banks to prioritize investments in
programmes that can get children out of the workforce and back into school, and in
social protection programmes that can help families avoid making this choice in the first
place.”

The Take-away
Harsh Realities
Millions of children are
involved in work that, under
any circumstance, is
considered unacceptable for
children, including the sale
and trafficking of children into
debt bondage, serfdom, and
forced labor. It includes the
forced recruitment of children
for armed conflict, commercial
sexual exploitation, and illicit
activities, such as producing
and trafficking drugs. In 2005,
an estimated 5.7 million
children were in forced and
bonded labor.
