on please find your mind. so all of the topics i'm much up to you from trouble fixed a new culture. and then 15 minutes left side of our community life on the research is now on the robs of their childhood, around the world. one intended children are being pushed to work often in dangerous conditions. the fruits of their labor often ends up entangled in global supply chains. we ask who's responsible also coming off the economic aftermath of santa gold, the most violent protests in decades. and keeping track of germany's labors georgia's state by law for extra doors to bond 6 to nor workers from abroad

. business dw business on 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 or working about 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 news, day or shot, and kind of ruined the asia pacific region. wrong. second, with the problem, especially acute in the poll. so children over 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 approved 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 or not to talk more about this last spring in 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? well, considering that between 9 and 26 percent of the $160000000.00 children that you mentioned that are in child labor, 9.6 percent are in global supply chains. it is critically important that business step up and meet the responsibility to operate ethically without recourse to child labor in the supply chains. now there is no evidence that the supply chain legislation, mandatory due diligence even of itself,

has an impact. they're not set up 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 due diligence that is, is promoted, should cover the entire supply chain. many times legislation doesn't require that, but that really risk is 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 coherence with international standards help 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 saw that the problem is especially prevalent in africa. what are governments they're going to tackle child labor? it's yes, well, today's world they, i guess time 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 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 there and advocate in general spaces. huge challenges in terms of enforcement in terms of providing that free good quality education is so critical. so 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 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 though to some of the other global business stories making news the us building. i
