    What makes child labour harmful and what does it mean for the cocoa sector?
    This report places child labour in the context of a broader body of research on the detrimental effects of adverse childhood experiences on child development. It explores the multiple factors affecting the severity of child labour - ie. the extent to which child labour causes (irreversible) harm - and discusses the implications. Drawing on over 150 empirical studies, the study covers: How child labour can cause harm An operational definition of the severity of child labour for the cocoa sector An overview of the practical implications for efforts to prevent and address child labour in the

  • Child labour legislation in Ethiopia
    ICI Analysis

    Child labour legislation in Ethiopia
    This report provides an overview of relevant national legislation and policies aiming to protect children from child labour in Ethiopia. It includes comparisons with international norms and standards on child labour, with a focus on those most applicable to child labour in agriculture and the coffee sector. In the absence of a national hazardous activity framework, the report draws on existing good practice and recent countrywide studies of child labour to propose a list of hazardous activities, which could be included in surveys to assess the prevalence of child labour in coffee growing areas

    External Research and Reports
    27 January 2023
    The COVID-19 consequences on child labour in agrifood systems
    This paper provides insights and evidence on how the COVID-19 pandemic and related policy responses to curb its spread influence the risk of child labour in agriculture through different pathways. It draws on case studies from seven countries covering different production systems: Côte d’Ivoire (cocoa), Ethiopia (cattle keeping and farming), (Lebanon (horticulture and greenhouse farms), the Philippines (municipal fisheries), and Viet Nam (crop farming, livestock, and citrus fruit chains). Based on these evidence, the document provides concluding reflections and recommendations on priority

    Charting the course: Embedding children’s rights in responsible business conduct
    Ten years after the publication of the Children’s Rights and Business Principles (CRBPs), UNICEF, Save the Children and the UN Global Compact have released a report (October 2022) and a Brief (June 2022) reviewing progress and looking ahead on embedding children's rights in responsible and sustainable business conduct. The report offers a comprehensive overview of trends in action by States, businesses and investors.

    External Research and Reports

    Responsible finance in the cocoa supply chain in Côte d’Ivoire: The leverage role of the financial sector in eliminating child labour
    This brief, produced by the ILO, is based on a study conducted as part of the ACCEL Africa Project, a regional project focusing on the issue of child labour in selected supply chains in six countries in Africa. The study seeks to assess the responsibility as well as legal obligations of financial sector actors in eliminating child labour in the cocoa supply chain in Côte d’Ivoire, especially those actors financing cocoa transactions at the level of exporters, buyers, and cooperatives.
