The number of child workers has increased by 8.4 million in the last 4 years to 160 million
According to the “Child Labour: 2020 Global Forecasts, Trends and The Road Ahead” report published by the International Labor Organization (ILO), the number of child workers has increased by 8.4 million in the last 4 years and reached 160 million worldwide. Commenting on the subject, Prof. Dr. İsmet Galip Yolcuoğlu said, “Child labor has an emotional and economic exploitation dimension. Studies show that there is a vicious circle relationship between almost all underdevelopment criteria and child employment. As long as the problems such as lack of education, structural economic problems, poverty and unemployment in the countries cannot be resolved, the problem of child employment will inevitably continue.
