Meaningful Efforts:

• Conducted and published research revealing the prevalence and impacts of child labor. 
• Ratified international conventions and aligned national laws with global standards to address child labor. 
• Expanded laws and national action plans to protect children from commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

Challenges and Existing Gaps:

• Hazardous work lists do not cover all areas of work in which there is evidence of hazardous child labor 
• Lack of sufficient social programs to address child labor in the agricultural and mining sectors.
• Lack of funding for the enforcement of child labor laws.
