A week earlier, the International Labor Organization(ILO)released its third global report on child labor. The report says there arc still 215 million child laborers in the world. And 115 million of them are working in some of the worst kinds of child labor. These are often dangerous to their health and safety. The ILO notes that child labor is decreasing worldwide, but at a much slower rate than four years ago.(29)The organization also warned that the global economic crisis could slow progress even more.(30)It called for an increase in global efforts in order to reach the goals for ending the worst forms of child labor-Representatives at the conference last week talked about what actions need to be taken. Patrick Quinn is with the ILO’s International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor. He says there is clear evidence of the kinds of policies and programming interventions that can be most effective in combating the problem. Patrick Quinn says if governments tackle the barriers that stop poor families accessing education and the fees which many poor families often have to pay for education, they can encourage children to attend school. So governments should put in place the right education policies. In many parts of the world,(31)if governments introduce social protection programs, measures for example which give family benefits to families with children, particularly poorer families, this can have an important impact in enabling people to keep their children in school and out of the work force.
