The 30th Meeting of the APEC Human Resources Development Working Group met on 14-18 April 2008, in Bohol, Philippines.
Child labour does not lift any child out of poverty. A good education does.
In 2001, the International Labour Organization (ILO) in a unique partnership with the Asia–Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), launched an inter-regional initiative to address the problem of the worst forms of child labour and the lack of educational opportunities in Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. The initiative encourages APEC member economies to use education to combat child labour as part of their overall growth and economic development strategy.
APEC has consistently recognised the critical connection between education and economic growth. The region will not be able to sustain growth and development if a segment of its youth cannot achieve their full potential. Due to the demand within APEC to address the problem of the worst forms of child labour and the lack of educational opportunities for the poorest children in the relevant member economies, a regional initiative was launched in 2001. Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam were keen to join the initiative. The APEC Human Resources Development Working Group endorsed the project with the ILO as the executing agency and with financial support from the United States Department of Labor (USDOL).
The initiative aims to increase public awareness and capacity for action in selected APEC economies on the importance of moving children out of hazardous work and into education. This is to be accomplished through alliance building at national and regional levels and engaging government authorities, employers’ and workers’ organizations, educators, civil society groups and children and families from the affected communities.
