Children from Africa pose for a picture, two of them hug eachother

This high-level panel will bring together senior representatives of governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations and international organizations to reflect on how these evolving global dynamics are reshaping the challenge of child labour and the policy responses required to address it. The discussion will focus on strategic implications for progress toward the elimination of child labour up to and beyond 2030.

Panellists will consider how climate change, conflict and displacement, demographic change, technological transformation and evolving supply chains are interacting to influence child labour risks across regions and sectors. The discussion will examine the extent to which existing policy frameworks and institutional arrangements remain fit for purpose, and where adaptation or innovation is required.

Interpretation is not available for the online broadcast.
