Ending Child Labour through a Multisectoral Approach
Child Labour Advocacy Brief
About
160 million children are in child labour globally. Responding to the multifaceted nature of the challenge, UNICEF promotes a multisectoral approach to ending child labour which includes programming across education, social protection and child protection. We also promote the importance of labour market policies and business practices in addressing child rights holistically, including the root causes of child labour, and in generating decent work for adults. UNICEF’s cross cutting work, such as that related to gender and social and behaviour change, are also instrumental to these efforts.
