World Day Against Child Labour 2022 will focus on the impact of crisis on child labour. The COVID-19 health pandemic and the resulting economic and labour market shock are having a huge impact on people’s lives and livelihoods. Unfortunately, children are often the first to suffer. The crisis can push millions of vulnerable children into child labour. Already, there are an estimated 152 million children in child labour, 72 million of which are in hazardous work. These children are now at even greater risk of facing circumstances that are even more difficult and working longer hours. This year’s World Day Against Child Labour focuses on action taken for the 2022 International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour. It is the first World Day since the universal ratification of the ILO’s Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour and takes place at time when the COVID-19 crisis threatens to reverse years of progress in tackling the problem.

World Day Against Child Labour Date 2022: June 12

The International Labour Organization (ILO) launched the World Day Against Child Labour in 2002 to focus attention on the global extent of child labour and the action and efforts needed to eliminate it. Each year on 12 June, the World Day brings together governments, employers and workers organizations, civil society, as well as millions of people from around the world to highlight the plight of child labourers and what can be done to help them.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by world leaders in 2015, include a renewed global commitment to ending child labour. Specifically, target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals calls on the global community to: “Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms.

World Day Against Child Labour 2022: Theme of 2022

The world day against child labour 2022 is celebrated under the theme “Universal Social Protection to End Child Labour.”

Children shouldn’t work in fields, but on dreams. Yet today, 152 million children are still in child labour. Although child labour occurs in almost every sector, seven out of every ten is in agriculture.

The coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic and labour market shock have had a huge impact on the lives of millions, and children are often the worst sufferers. The Covid-19 crisis has even pushed thousands of vulnerable children into child labour, according to United Nations.

Last year, on World Day a virtual campaign is being organized jointly with the Global March Against Child Labour and the International Partnership for Cooperation on Child Labour in Agriculture (IPCCLA). A joint ILO-UNICEF  paper on the impact of COVID-19 on child labour, released on 12 June, looks at some of the main channels through which the pandemic is likely to affect progress towards the eradication of child labour.

Significance

World Day Against Child Labour, celebrated annually on 12 June is an initiative launched by International Labour Organisation (ILO) to raise awareness about the plight of child labourers worldwide. This year, the ILO is celebrating 100 years of advancing social justice and promoting decent work. It will look back on the progress achieved over 100 years of ILO support to countries on tackling child labour. Also, they focused on  increasing investment in social protection systems and schemes to establish solid social protection floors and protect children from child labour.
