Event: Within and Beyond Our Borders: Collective Action to Address Child Labor

When: Monday, June 12, from 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM PT

Hosted by: U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs and the Wage and Hour Division

Overview: An estimated 160 million children are engaged in child labor globally, and 79 million are engaged in hazardous child labor, risking injury or even death from using sharp tools and dangerous chemicals or working underground. Every country, including the United States, faces this global issue. On the occasion of the World Day Against Child Labor, this event will host a discussion on child labor and decent work in the U.S. and abroad and the power of different actors—from teachers, workers, and survivors to businesses, governments, and civil society—working together to eradicate this egregious form of labor exploitation.
