\u201cA child should not work. Childhood is for dreaming.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2021 was declared by the UN to be the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labor. Under the leadership of the International Labor Organization (ILO), the international community has increased their efforts to eliminate child labor in all its forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The subject is so relevant to the ILO, that in 2002, this organization established June 12 as the World Day Against Child Labour, striving to raise awareness in society, workers, employers and governments around the world to the exploitation of children and adolescents. That year, the global report on child labor was presented at the International Labor Conference, and from that point on, every year a theme is proposed for a campaign of awareness and the mobilization of society. In Brazil, the date was established in 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estimates of the ILO indicate that there are 152 million children subject to child labor in the world, 73 million of which are in dangerous work. Of the total of the young labor force, 70% works in agriculture, mainly due to poverty and the difficulties of parents in finding work with decent remuneration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Brazil, in the last twenty years, progress was made in the policies for combating child labor, but there are still 2.7 million children and adolescents, between 5 and 17 years old, exploited as laborers in very diverse sectors of the country, 59% being boys and 41% being girls. The majority is in the Southeastern region (854,000) and the Northeastern region (852,000), followed by the regions of the South (432,000), North (311,000) and Central Western (223,000). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
