The focus of this third Global Report on Child labour is about honouring the commitments made with the adoption of a Global Action Plan by the International Labour Organization in 2006. Adopting the same four part structure as the two previous reports this study charts the progress made by the Organization and its partners in the effort to eliminate all worst forms of child labour by the year 2016. Accelerating Action Against Child Labour shows how strong political commitment, translated into solid policy choices and actions and backed by adequate knowledge, capacity and resources, can ensure a large-scale impact on the child labour dilemma. By building on the foundations of the two previous reports on the effective abolition of child labour, the present Report takes stock of the progress the world has made over the last four years in responding to its commitments and identifies the main hurdles impeding progress and factors that may keep countries from reaching the target. This Report proves through its analysis and recommendations that it is a vital step to realising the vision of a world in which children do not have to work at the expense of their future and ours.
