New report on domestic work within the framework of the two ILO fundamental conventions on child labour and the recently adopted instruments on decent work for domestic workers.
This report highlights the main achievements and developments of the ILO’s International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour in 2012. As 2012 marked the twentieth anniversary of IPEC, the report also reflects on IPEC’s evolution, achievements and impact and considers the role the Programme should adopt to continue and intensify the fight against child labour in the coming years.
The purpose of the handbook is to provide guidelines for professionals who may/will encounter instances of child labour in the course of their work. Against the background of law, international convention and research findings, the handbook is intended to assist with prioritizing and taking effective action to address child labour situations, always conducting such activities in the best interest of the children.
