Child Labour and the Effectiveness of the Ilo's Program Ending Child Labour by 2025
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Child labour, which has been observed throughout human history, continues to persist today. However, the presence of children in the workforce negatively impacts their emotional, physical, and social development. Among these negative effects, perhaps the most significant is that children, due to the necessity of working, are unable to continue their education and therefore lack the necessary skills and qualifications for the rest of their lives. Both preventing child labour and developing binding norms in this area have been the focus of significant efforts by international organizations such as the United Nations and the ILO. One of these efforts is the ILO's program aimed at Ending Child Labour by 2025. This study discusses the effectiveness of this program. In this context, the program remains a target and is concluded to be more of a dream than a reality in terms of eradicating child labour.
