In 2006, following the release of the second Global Report on Child Labour, the ILO urged Member States to commit themselves to eradicate the worst forms of child labour by 2016. To do this, all countries were called to design and put in place appropriate time-bound measures by 2008. The action plan was to be based on three pillars: supporting and mainstreaming national responses to child labour; deepening and strengthening the worldwide movement against child labour; and further integrating child labour concerns in overall ILO strategies to promote decent work for all.
