Why is there a need for Child Labor Prevention and Remediation Training?

Child labor remains a pressing issue despite global efforts, with progress stagnating for the first time in two decades. In 2021, the ILO estimated that 160 million children were engaged in child labor, equating to one in ten children worldwide. Of those in child labor – 73 million children – are in hazardous work that directly endangers their health, safety and moral development. This number is anticipated to be significantly higher in 2024, exacerbated by the pandemic's impact, as well as other geopolitical and economic factors.

Child labor is a pressing issue in a wide range of contexts and regions. Although typically equated with low-income countries with high poverty rates, the rising cases of child labour in the US – particularly among undocumented migrant children working in agriculture, fast-food franchises, meat-packing facilities and other industries – highlights the importance of understanding the nexus between child labor, migration governance and access to decent work.

The most acute risks of child labor often lie within the deeper tiers of the supply chain, especially among subcontractors. Several factors contribute to this, including the informal nature of the sector, limited visibility for businesses, the pursuit of low-cost labor, and ineffective auditing practices. While preventable, addressing child labor requires increased awareness and understanding of effective prevention strategies.

Our new Child Labor Prevention and Remediation Training program addresses this by offering accessible, scalable knowledge tailored to local contexts. With this new training, we aim to empower stakeholders to tackle child labor effectively.

What does the training cover?

The curriculum includes the following key topics:

• Understanding children’s rights and child labor
• Child labor prevention, with a focus on age verification
• Child labor remediation for underage workers
• Remediation for young workers in hazardous work and children on the work floor

Who is the training for?

This programme is designed specifically for upper/mid-level managers within supply chains serving global markets, with a focus on Türkiye and Bangladesh.

How does the training create positive impact?

The digital learning course not only offers accessibility and ease but also saves time and resources in the long run. By providing an alternative to face-to-face training, it enables managers to engage from any location, at any time. Its practical design empowers managers with the necessary knowledge to effectively address child labor issues. The course is compatible with all major digital devices, including smartphones, computers, and iPads. Existing Quizrr clients who utilize Quizrr’s tablet can seamlessly access the training there as well.
