The new ILO report on child labour: a success story, or the ILO still at a loss?
Liebel, Manfred
With this year’s Global Report on Child Labour the International Labour Organization (ILO) adopts a stance of victory. With confidence and pride, it announces that ‘the worldwide movement against child labour’ led by the ILO itself has brought ‘the end of child labour – within reach’. However, no convincing proof is given for this surprising assertion. The numerous illogicalities contained in the report are, rather, calculated to create the impression that the ILO no longer has an idea – or still has none – of how the fight against child labour is to be continued.
