In its quadrennial Global Report on child labour, the ILO says that the global number of child labourers had declined from 222 million to 215 million, or 3 per cent, over the period 2004 to 2008, representing a "slowing down of the global pace of reduction." The report also expresses concern that the global economic crisis could "further brake" progress toward the goal of eliminating the worst forms of child labour by 2016.

Cette étude s'attache à mettre en évidence les principales caractéristiques du travail des enfants en Amérique Latine, une région où, selon la dernière estimation de l'incidence du travail des enfants effectuée par l'Organisation Internationale du Travail (OIT, 2002), un peu plus de 17 millions d'enfants de 5 à 14 ans étaient économiquement actifs en l'an 2000 (soit 16% de cette classe d'âge). Pour cela, trois enquêtes nationales réalisées en 1998 auprès de ménages de trois pays limitrophes - le Brésil, la Colombie et le Venezuela - ont été utilisées. Ce rapport consacre une première partie à l'analyse statistique du travail des enfants dans les trois pays précédemment cités. Les fortes disparités de l'incidence du travail enfantin entre les zones rurales et urbaines de ces pays, entre les régions, et au sein même de ces régions, sont mises en évidences. La nature du travail des enfants (horaires de travail, secteurs d'activité, statut, rémunération) est détaillée. Enfin, une ... The aim of this study is to highlight the main characteristics of child labour in Latin America-a region in which, according to the International Labour Organization's latest estimate of the impact of child labour (ILO, 2002), just over 17 million children aged between 5 and 14 (or 16% of that age group) were economically active in the year 2000. For that purpose, three national household surveys conducted in 1998 in three neighbouring countries-Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela have been used. The first part of the report is devoted to a statistical analysis of child labour in the above three countries. It highlights the sharp disparities in the frequency of child labour between these countries' rural and urban areas, between regions, and even within regions. The nature of child labour (hours, sectors of activity, status, pay) is set forth in detail. Lastly, special attention is paid to the linkages between child labour and schooling, household structure and household.
