Side Event 12 - South-South Cooperation: Good Practices of Labour Inspection on the Prevention and Eradication of Child Labour

The role of labour inspection in combating child labour is highlighted in various ILO standards, including the fundamental ILO Conventions on combating child labour (C.138 and C.182) and the Recommendations that accompany them (R.146 and R.190); as well as the conventions that deal with Labour Inspection (C. 81 of C. 129). Under this perspective, it is highlighted that the existence of an effective labour inspection system, capable of facing the challenges and complexities that involve the issue of child labour, is a central element for the eradication of this type of violation.
