Children's work is a broad term that includes both worst forms of child labour at one extreme
and beneficial work contributing to the child's development at the other. All work performed by
children under the age of 18 is not necessarily child labour. Millions of young people undertake
work, paid or unpaid, that is appropriate for their age and maturity. By doing so, they learn to
take responsibility, gain skills, add to their family's or their own income and well-being, and
contribute to their countries' economy.
Child labour is the unacceptable form of child work. It is work that exposes children to harm or
exploitation. Two core ILO conventions focus on the elimination of child labour, and place
boundaries between child labour and child work. Basically, the child labour slated for abolition
falls into three categories:
1. hazardous work, or labour which jeopardizes the physical, mental or moral well-being of
a child, either because of its nature or the conditions under which it is carried out.
Hazardous work is defined by national legislation. (Convention 182);
2. other, "unconditional" worst forms of child labour are internationally defined as slavery,
trafficking, debt bondage and other forms of forced labour; forced recruitment for use in
armed conflict; prostitution and pornography; and illicit activities; (Convention 182)
3. labour performed by a child who is under a certain age specified for that kind of work
and is thus likely to impede the child's education and full development. (Convention 138)
The ILO conventions help to focus attention on forms of child labour that have to be approached
with particular urgency. The welfare of the child and the respect of his/her rights as a child is key
in this.
