What
are the areas needing attention?
UNICEF recommends the following:
- Immediately
end hazardous and exploitative child labour -- including
bonded labour, commercial sexual exploitation and work that hampers
the child's development
- Provide
free and compulsory education - ensuring that children
attend primary education full time until completion
- Expand
legal protection - ensure consistency and implementation
in mutually supportive ways
- Register
all children at birth -- to protect the child's right
to have evidence of the child's age
- Extend
data collection/ monitoring
-- gather and analyse globally comparable child labour data
- Develop
codes of conduct and procurement policies --
Corporations should adopt codes of conduct guaranteeing that neither
they nor their subcontractors will employ children in conditions
that violate their rights and then abide by those codes
