Pursuing the United Nations Millennium Development Goals Kyrgyzstan’s National Statistics Committee would collect statistics data on the worst forms of child labour, the committee’s press service said on August 29.

The committee conducts a child labour survey within the framework of the ILO project on the elimination of the worst forms of child labour in Central Asian republics.

“The survey’s results will be used to monitor and assess child labour in the republic,” the press service said. “Diversified information on living and working conditions of both adults and children will help take effective measures to stop child labour as well as to create conditions for comprehensive and harmonious development of children.”

The survey will help Kyrgyzstan’s government and international organizations to develop programmes on the elimination of child labour.
