  1. Child Labour and Education for All - A resource guide for trade unions and a call against child labour and for education for all

    08 September 2014

    The links between child labour and education are clear – children with no access to education have little alternative but to enter the labour market, where they are often forced to work in dangerous and exploitative conditions. Hence, expanding access to free and compulsory education is crucial to reducing child labour, as is the provision of quality education. Access to education is a necessary but insufficient element as the challenge is to keep children in school and equip them with relevant skills.
