The UN General Assembly President Volkan Bozkir stated the COVID-19 pandemic has forced more youngsters into labour and that the world “must ensure that this generation is not lost” during the opening of the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour.
Bozkir said the United Nations declared 2021 as the international year for the abolition of child labour out of a sense of urgency on 11 June during a virtual event. He claims that the COVID-19 epidemic has increased inequities between and between countries, disproportionately affecting the poor and children.
The international community has made it obvious that child labour has no place in modern society, according to the President of the General Assembly. He emphasised that the SDG deadline of 2025 to stop child labour is only four years away, and that there is no time to squander.
Child labour had decreased by nearly 100 million children between 2000 and 2016, according to UN Deputy-Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, but new ILO-UNICEF worldwide estimates show that 160 million children are still working, the first increase since counting began.
