nomic, aftermath of signing goals, the most violent protests in decades and keeping track of germany's labor shortages statewide allow for extra doors to bond 6 to newer workers from abroad. business dw business. and kate ferguson, thanks for joining me. delegates from all over the world are in geneva today to discuss the ways to end child labor. according to the international labor organization about one intend of o youngsters globally are working above a ride, a 160000000 children. in most cases, they are deprived of a formal education, making it all the more difficult to access a better future. to have labor is most prevalent in central african countries, such as new, dare shot and kind of ruined the asia pacific region. wrong 2nd, with a problem, especially acute in the polls. so children often work in dangerous conditions, mining role materials that end up and product sold around the world,

or in factories making, garments sold in the high threes. earlier this month, the european parliament approve new legislation that will require large companies to perform due diligence on their supply chains, including keeping track of whether their partners are infringing on child labor and or and i to talk more about this last spring and benjamin smith. he's a tar labor specialist at the international labor organization on is joining us from geneva. hi, benjamin gets the you. i want to ask you about your assessment of the use supply chain low. will it make a tangible difference or well, considering that between 9 and 26 percent of the $160000000.00 children that you mentioned that are in charge of ever 9.6 percent are in global supply chains. it is critically important that business step up and meet the responsibility to operate ethically without request to child labor in the supply chains. now there is no

evidence that the supply chain legislation, mandatory due diligence, noon of itself, has an impact there not to have to measure it. so it's difficult to, to say, however, we have come out and very clearly says that a mix of regulation, policy, coherence, and market based incentives are critical for responsible business conduct. and mandatory due diligence can play an important role in that. so, and you wide approach makes sense in that it promotes coherent so it's rather than having numerous national initiatives, you have one kind of level playing field for, for europe. and it can increase transparency. we know that transparency allows supply chains is critical to eliminating child labor so that that due diligence that is, is promoted, should cover the entire supply chain. many times legislation doesn't require that,

but that really risks ignoring exactly where child labor is most acute at will far up stream and of supply chains in the production of, of, of primary materials. so, so here it's with international standards. if those a piece of legislation have iowa standards uh, wellness selected in them, then absolutely they can be helpful and certainly to be encouraged in terms of business due diligence. sure. now we feel that the problem is especially prevalent in africa. what are government they're doing to tackle child labor? it's yes, well, today's world they, i guess talk labor and we heard from the d. r. c. in fact about new efforts to set up a child. they were monitoring system in the mining sector in the r c, as you and your viewers may know much of the, the minerals that go into our cell phones and electric vehicles to the batteries.

and so i come from the r c. so this is really important measure, recruiting new labor inspectors to be able to enforce the legislation overall the, the central africa as of their advocate in general spaces. huge challenges in terms of enforcement in terms of providing that free good quality education is so critical to eliminates out there. and on top of that, it's a region that's marked by conflict. conflict in and crises. so adding to that to the difficulties of the implementation is the question that the, the southern africa has ratified iowa conventions. they've got policies and national action plans in place. but they also need support that they have to have the resources required to get out to the root causes of child labor, primarily, household poverty. all right, benjamin smith,

specialists of the international labor organization. thank you very much. thank you . i to some of the other global business stories making news in the us building our george soros has. honda is over control of his $25000000000.00 empire to his son alex for decades. the hon. gary and born san on tier has been using his wealth to support democracy building around the world. his tongue says he's hoping to broaden his father's level aims to causes including focusing on abortion, right? thousands of communities on the social media site. red as our shopping dining for 48 hours starting today. the action is in protest against plans, changes to the websites, feeds that developers fear would kill of popular 3rd party applications. that is among the most popular websites in the world, is reportedly aiming for a public listing lecture. this year. jp morgan chase has agreed to settle

deep and slowly, slowly getting back to work violent protests a week ago have left a devastating impact. the company lost more than 70 buses. it's an economic disaster, and yet is just the tip of the iceberg. well, so what the impact is huge that got them. dick is mobility, it's very important for the senegalese, them any disruption in service is very difficult for the economy and the international labor organization estimates that 95 percent of the population work in the informal sector. they're self employed. often, traders like this young woman who relies on public transport i have enormous difficulty coming to the call to pick up my luggage that i have to sell in st. louis. although, aside from the damage, the government estimates that a day of protest can slow economic output by the equivalent of up to $33000000.00 a day. the days of unrest last week were the worst. the country has seen in decades

at sales sentence of prominent opposition lead up was minus uncle spart. the protest sunk was porters believe it's a political ploy to prevent him from running for president. next year in germany is source of some, 2000000 workers in the sectors like health care, social work on the i t demographic changes. one issue is a lack of uptake and specialized training. among the employers struggling to fill positions is the country's state rail authorized search bond. it's not a seeking to attract fresh holland, abrupt lots of travelers, lots of freight, lots of construction sites, to keep things running smoothly towards you bought needs additional staff. $25000.00 more this year alone. but the german labor market is limited, so don't you. bond is recruiting outside the country as well. no one has an eye, but often with such a high demand for personnel and such

a challenging labor market, we have to think about how we can still attract skilled workers to us when it's given. one hopeful is alfonso, say danielle, the industrial machinery programmer resides in madrid. he quit his permanent job, a decision he thought about for a long time. so you that may seem able to, but at the end i decided to leave. otherwise, you stay in one place in your comfort zone, but this is now the opportunity to get to know a new country in an industry that suits me to do. and we got so low you. for 7 months, alfonso has spend 5 hours a day studying german. he sold his car to pay for lessons. i'm with a whole bunch of companies that are there are many colleagues who started the course with me, but they stopped because they couldn't afford it. so many months, this is a project that you have to be able to afford, that would be nice. hey, a table that i said with, i mean workers like alfonso have tried to find jobs at home like a spanish rail subsidiary transfer. so,

but it's not as easy as it was 10 years ago. i think the biggest, say you by this, by a few people left spain 10 years ago did so because they had to, there were no jobs here. so the people who are leaving now are looking for an experience that have to start off at about because skilled workers in the real sector also in short supply insane transfer. so i was looking for candidates elsewhere like door to bon were all fonts. so hope to soon join the ranks there's, there's like there's just like the way they need to. we are in each sector at the same company sites. so the good people are finding that ensures that we just go up there to few candidates. yeah, of course. kind of yeah, those add to it you bon, the hope is that young spanish professionals will be motivated to come to germany. statistically, there are good reasons they might finding use of i'd love all the youth unemployment rate is just under 30 percent. and here of course, we can still make a difference by offering training opportunities and qualifications non

b to put towards your bon has long since stopped relying solely on spain. it now recruits new staff in 10 different countries. and finally, the global push towards electric mobility has reached a new dimension with the launch of the world. first effort electric, a flying falster. researchers in china spent 3 years developing the futuristic vehicle, which was showcase us an event and shows that in the sy, fi like full or can reach an altitude of 200 meters, the cheapest speed of up to 50 kilometers an hour. for now, it's useful, be limited to size see promotions offering riders panoramic views, perhaps in some cases of realization of a child, hard to see and that off the 5 show for more you can always check out the w dot com slash business. we're on the date of the news youtube channel as well from me in the business team here in berlin is by
