global child labor standards

Global child labor standards aim to protect children from exploitation and ensure they have the right to education and a safe childhood. Established by organizations like the International Labour Organization (ILO), these standards prohibit work that is harmful to children's health, safety, or morals. They encourage governments to create laws that regulate child labor and promote safe working conditions. The goal is to eliminate the worst forms of child labor, ensuring children can grow, learn, and thrive in environments free from economic exploitation. These standards reflect a commitment to children's rights worldwide.
