Employers and Child Labour is designed to help businesses and their
organizations understand and take action against child labour. The 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 package will be a key resource for the executives, directors and
managers of employers' organizations and other business associations
that wish to engage on this important and sensitive issue.
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. In short, it provides an understanding of the issues.
The two subsequent guides explain what can be done about child labour from
the business point of view. Guide Two is addressed to 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.
