Global: New report shows marked decline in child labour worldwide

Child labour, especially in its worst forms, is in decline for the first time across the globe, the International Labour Organization (ILO) says in a new, cautiously optimistic report entitled "The end of child labour: Within reach". The ILO report also says that if the current pace of the decline were to be maintained and the global momentum to stop child labour continued, it believes child labour could feasibly be eliminated, in most of its worst forms, in 10 years.
