Child labor - waning or growing?

I was in Iloilo City last week and I stayed at Amigo Terrace Hotel in the central business district. There are shops and business offices adjoining the hotel. One office I discovered at the mezzanine floor was that of World Vision which is dedicated to child labor.

Last June 30, I read in one local paper that World Vision held a forum on child labor. Had I known it earlier, I would have attended the event.

There are confusing reports about the state of child labor. Here is one saying its waning; the other one growing.
