| 15:45-17:00 BST (UTC+1) | UN Global Compact Network UK UN Global Compact Network USA | United Kingdom Child Labour: Exploring how the Informal Sector feeds into Formal Supply ChainsThere is a high prevalence of child labour in the informal economy, in both urban and rural settings. Child labour is particularly widespread in agriculture, artisanal mining, manufacturing, street work, and domestic work. While monitoring the informal sector is challenging, it remains essential for all companies to mitigate these risks in their supply chain. Focusing on supply chains helps identify where and how the formal business sector intersects with the informal sector. This webinar will therefore consider the connection between primary activities (mainly informal and occurring in bottom tiers) and formal activities further along the chain. This webinar is part of the 'The Elimination of Child Labour - Webinar Series' launched by UN Global Compact Network UK and UN Global Compact Network USA to commemorate the 'International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour' and which are taking place during 2021.
