World Day Against Child Labour 2025

Progress is clear, but there's more to do: let’s speed up efforts!

Organized on the margins of the 113th Session of the International Labour Conference, this high-level event will mark the World Day Against Child Labour 2025 with the launch of the ILO-UNICEF joint report on the latest global estimates of child labour.

The event brings together ILO constituents and partners to discuss the implications of the new global estimates and trends in child labour, and the steps needed to accelerate progress.

This high-level event provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress made and the urgent need for stronger action to meet global goals. On this World Day against Child Labour, the ILO calls for the full ratification of ILO Convention No. 138 on the Minimum Age and the implementation of ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. Their effective ratification and implementation remain essential to achieving the goals set by the Durban Call to Action, which urges strengthened prevention, protection, and partnerships to eliminate child labour.
