The Child Labour Global Estimates 2020 report, prepared by ILO and Unicef, provides updated estimates of child labour at global level and by region. It discusses the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and calls for immediate steps to be taken to eliminate child labour by 2025.

This report from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) provides updated estimates of child labour at a global and regional level.

ICI’s 2020 annual report looks back over the 2015-2020 strategic period during which the effectiveness of child-centred community development approaches and Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems, implemented with our partners, was confirmed.

This joint report by Human Rights Watch, Initiative for Social Economic Rights, and Friends of the Nation, examines the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on child labour, children’s rights and poverty in Ghana, Nepal, and Uganda. It analyses responses, such as cash transfers, and provides recommendations to governments, donors, and companies to address issues related to child protection, education, and child labour.

With the scale up of Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation Systems (CLMRS) advancing, and calls from civil society to set clear definitions and reporting benchmarks, the International Cocoa Initiative (ICI) carried out a review of these systems, commissioned by the Swiss Cocoa Platform.
