Poverty is laid down by the United Nations (UN) for the Elimination of the worst forms of child labour probably the biggest obstacle to achieving the goal by 2016, remain according to a recent report issued by the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
The report follows, taking into account the Declaration of the ILO on fundamental principles and rights at work, a study found that the number of working children worldwide in aged between 5 and 17, in the last returned 13 years by one-third by 2012.
Despite the reduction of child labour in recent years the ILO has decided, for various reasons, including poverty not the goal of the Elimination of the worst forms of child labour until 2016 can be achieved.
You can find a large number of children in Asia-Pacific and Africa South of the Sahara regions, said the ILO report.
About 21 percent of children are involved as workers in sub Saharan area compared to 9.0 percent in the Asia, Pacific and Latin American countries and 8.0 percent in the Middle East and North Africa.
Released prior to the Global Conference on child labour in Brazil October take place, the report said the number of child labourers 168 million in 2012. The children as laborers were hired around 11 per cent of all children of the world.
168 Million child workers are girls 99.8 million while guys that make other 68.2 million.
In the year 2000 the number of child workers amounted to 246 million, which reduced to 215 million in 2008. The success in reducing child labour was remarkable between 2008 and 2012.
The decline of girls in child labour was particularly pronounced – there was a reduction of 40 per cent in the number of girls in child labour compared to 25 percent for boys.
Of the 168 million child workers, 85 percent of them in dangerous work involved that directly endangers their health, safety, and moral development.
According to save the children of Bangladesh in the South Asian country there is some 7.4 million child workers and of them, about 80 percent involved in non-formal categories including farm domestic helps.
By the ILO campaign in Bangladesh employers not children under 15 years in the apparel industry to engage, and make them more than five hours work a day. But some subcontractors employ children often and they are regulated in the same manner as compliant factories.
Most of Bangladesh's child workers engage in homes as domestic helps and get peasants and how work, especially girls, throughout the day, little access to education.
Parents of these children allow their stations in works out of poverty are involved. Almost one-third of the country's 155 million people live below the international poverty line or less than $2.0 per day.
According to the study, is the poverty should remain the greatest challenge to the ILO goal to eliminate hazardous child labour by 2016.
