Abstract This set of three practical guides provide ideas, advice and examples for the prevention of child labour, the withdrawal of children from work and the protection of young workers from hazardous conditions. The guides focus on developing countries and provide examples of enterprises and employers' organizations that have taken concrete action, either by themselves or in cooperation with the International Labour Organization, donors and other local, national and international organizations. The first guide provides definitions, an explanation of the causes and the consequences of child labour, and the rationale for why enterprises should not employ children. Guide Two is addressed at enterprises and explains their options and possible strategies for eliminating child labour. Guide Three is about the collective role that employers' organizations and other business associations can play in helping their members on this important topic.
