Child Labor and Poverty
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A Better Future for Children
Child labor, particularly its worst forms, is linked to poverty. Therefore, addressing child labor and promoting improved socio-economic status of children and their families closely relates to ADB's overarching goal of poverty reduction. There is also a growing regional consensus on the importance of eliminating worst forms of child labor in Asia.
This Seminar intends to promote understanding of child labor issues and how it links to poverty. It will also update participants on the best practices established to abolish worst forms of child labor and to reduce poverty of child labor and their families.
