Child Labour Platform, 13th Annual Meeting

The 13th annual meeting of the ILO’s Child Labour Platform “Advancing Decent Work to End Child Labour in Supply Chains” will take place in person from 1-2 December 2022 at ILO Headquarters in Geneva. The meeting will bring together businesses across sectors, as well as representatives of governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations and international organizations.

The focus of this year’s meeting is advancing decent work to end child labour in supply chains. The programme will focus on business responses to tacking the systemic root cause of child labour from adequate wages and income, equal opportunities for women and youth employment. The meeting will also advance the collaboration of the CLP with businesses at country level, with a focus on Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and India.

The ILO Director-General, Mr Gilbert Houngbo, will participate on 2 December, for a dialogue with CLP members on future efforts to end child labour and advancing social justice in the world of work.
