Washington. - Eine zunehmende Zahl von Entwicklungsländern investiert in soziale Sicherheitsnetze, um das Leben von armen und besonders verletzlichen Menschen zu verbessern. Aber noch immer müssen 55 Prozent der Armen - rund 773 Millionen Menschen - ohne soziale Absicherung leben.

Geneva. - The most recent global estimates suggest some 120 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 are involved in child labour, with boys and girls in this age group almost equally affected. This persistence of child labour is rooted in poverty and lack of decent work for adults, lack of social protection, and a failure to ensure that all children are attending school through to the legal minimum age for admission to employment. Around 20 to 30 per cent of children in low income countries complete their schooling and enter the labour market by the age of 15, says a new International Labour Organization (ILO) report prepared for World Day against Child Labour. Most of these children were in child labour before.
