Less than 5% comply with laws

After the previous post on International Labor Organization (ILO) citing the Philippines on child labor, here comes a real shocker.

Only 24 of 500 members of the Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) or less than 5 percent comply with laws on child labor.

To correct his problem, ECOP is launching a campaign "Child Labor-Free and Child-Friendly Recognition Program." The project is in partnership with guess who - ILO.

ILO cites RP efforts

Is child labor really declining in our country? Well, if not true good.

Read this report on ILO citing the Philippines, along with Cambodia, Mongolia, Indonesia and Vietnam, as setting concrete deadlines in eliminating the worst forms of child labor.

It is not declining fast enough

Child labor cases in Asia have gone down, but it is not declining fast enough.

This according to the UN's International Labor Organization report.
