The Ministry of Social Protection’s Department of Labour hosted its third countrywide stakeholder consultation in Linden, Region Ten, on Wednesday to gather inputs on the development of a National Child Labour Policy (NCLP).
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that approximately thirty stakeholders representing the corporate community, NGOs, the public service, religious bodies and local governance, participated in the discussion.
DPI said that child labour includes any child under the age of 18 taking part in the worst forms of labour and children under 12 participating in economic activities that can affect their health and well-being.
