GLOBAL: ILO launches report on child labour

Despite significant progress in efforts to abolish child labour, an alarming number of children are trapped in its worst forms, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has said. Launching ILO's report - 'A Future Without Child Labour', the organisation's Director-General, Juan Somavia, said on Wednesday that child labour remained a problem on a massive scale, despite the increasing commitment by governments and their partners to combat it.
