Summary
This report summarises the results of a study on the links between child labour and decent work for adults which will be published by the FNV on the eve of the World Day Against Child Labour on 12 June 2010. The study examines trade union, non-governmental organisation, government and ILO programmes to fight child labour in ten countries – India, Nepal, Cambodia, China, Colombia, Brazil, Morocco, Tanzania, Albania and Israel/Palestine. The FNV supports five of these programmes: the Building and Wood Workers International in India and Nepal; the agricultural workers union APVVU and the non-government organisation MVF in India; the national teachers’ union, the Syndicat National des Enseignants (SNE) in Morocco; and the two teachers unions, FSASH and SPASH in Albania.
The research undertaken as part of the study comprised field visits by a team of researchers and many meetings with the different types of people involved – trade unionists, employers, government officials, ILO specialists, members of non-governmental organisations and programme beneficiaries. This was complemented by analysis of existing reports on the programmes concerned.
This summary has been written for distribution and discussion at the World Conference Against Child Labour to be held in the Hague on 10-11 May 2010 and organised by the Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment, in collaboration with the ILO, UNICEF and the World Bank.
The conference conclusions will be included in the final report, which will be published by 12 June 2010.
