Rapid assessment on child labour in the sugarcane sector in selected areas in Cambodia: A comparative analysis

Cambodia has ratified the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182) and ILO Convention on Minimum Age for Admission to Employment, 1973 (No. 138). The ILO together with the Royal Government of Cambodia, trade unions, employers and other partners has been working intensively on the issue of child labour in Cambodia since the mid-1990s. Progress has been made, however, challenges remain in the effective application of the ILO Conventions with as many as one in ten children remaining in child labour.
