Rapid assessment of child labour in Saint Lucia
This Rapid Assessment is part of a South-South Cooperation initiative funded through the Brazil-ILO Cooperation Programme, within the context of the ILO’s Regional Initiative: Latin America and the Caribbean Free of Child Labour (RI). The assessment was undertaken with the active collaboration of the Government of Saint Lucia, and in particular, with the Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports, Energy and Labour.
The Report presents encouraging results, witnessing an overall low incidence of child labour. However, we must remain cognizant of the need to pay attention to the several areas of weakness and potential risks that have been highlighted. The work to be done will require the concerted efforts and contributions not just of the Government, but also of civil society stakeholders, workers’ and employers’ organizations, and individual citizens throughout the country.
