HAT DOES THE PICTURE LOOK
2020?
ase child labour in the
re’s why:
Lack of childcare options means parents
more likely to bring children to work
Labour shortages aggravated by reduced
labour mobility and travel restrictions
may prompt employers to hire underage
children to meet labour needs
Uncertainty of orders likely to prompt
factories to hire informal or day labourers,
where age verification is frequently flouted
Suppliers more likely to subcontract certain
processes rather than hire new employees,
creating more opaque supply chains and
increasing the likelihood of child labour
Significant reduction in audits, meaning
more underage children are working
undetected

REMEDIATE
• Make sure you have a
child labour remediation
programme in place that puts
the best interest of the child
first and creates conditions that
enable children to stay out of
work and continue learning
until they’ve reached the legal
minimum working age
• Allocate an emergency fund
that can be quickly deployed
in child labour cases involving
extreme hardship and/or risks
• Work with expert
organisations on child labour
such as CCR CSR, to manage
the cases and achieve the
desired outcomes
