the international labor organization says more than 150000000 children are employed against their will nearly half of them work in hazardous conditions boys account for more than half of child laborers it's thought the number of girls could be under reported. regional numbers vary but africa has the highest rate of child labor one in 5 children on the continent is forced to work across asia more than 7 percent of all children are employed and 5 percent in the americas by far most children work in agriculture most of them on family owned farms some 12 percent work in industry including dangerous mining jobs the rest work in the service sector including household servants the ilo says child labor numbers have come down by some 90000000 over the past 2 decades but it warns the coronavirus pandemic threatens to reverse gains and force more children back into work we can take a closer look at this with guy ryder who is director general of the international labor organization joins us from geneva welcome to you connect the dots for us if you would why this pandemic induced poverty and fewer

earlier we spoke to sophie to call back from the international labor organization we asked her why so many children to africa and the pending to work to support their families from such a young age indeed 72000000 children across africa and that is one child in fife aged 5 to 17 and africa it is very high there are reasons. this is link of course to poverty and. the story of the boy in central africa republic perfectly illustrates the complexity of factors that are. creating child labor poverty is the lack of access to education to create you creation in the case of central africa education history and compulsory on paper but in practice many children out of school the lack of access to social protection again the story of the child in central africa shows that he's an orphan and his mother is sick. there's no health care there's no safety net and the only possibility. to start working the lack of warning is a population whose very well it is 3 comment re the lack of increase in force and on the low because the majority of. workers in africa are in the form of the common where this is

so if you do a comic from the international labor organization speaking to us earlier. now brazil has reached another grim milestone in the corona virus and emic the official code in 1000 death toll. has become the 2nd highest in the world surpassed only by the u.s. the brazilian health ministry says at least 41800 people have died that overtakes the u.k. experts say the real number could be several times higher but the world health organization says the health system there is coping brazil has been reopening shops across the country in recent days although the virus is still circulated widely among the population. let's get more now from michael fox he's a freelance journalist in brazil and is joining me from the southern city of flowing up list michael thanks for joining us let's get into these numbers a little bit 42000 is the official number but it may be quite higher and at the same time the lockdown measures are easing so get into more of that for us please. that's right according to a recent study the real figure because of under reporting and a lack of testing t

children's aid organizations say that's no reason to take a child out of school. whosoever who child labor is widespread in iraq and all over the middle east it's considered necessary for children to work. ok but that's wrong it's illegal to exploit children for profit or other purposes oh yes you mustn't oh no tony. that may be but the reality here is the children are working while the authorities turn a blind eye and parents simply feel they have no other way to make ends meet. let's get some perspective on the story with francesco audio video from the international labor organization the i alow francesco thank you for joining us your organization and unicef have released a report saying that the covert 1000 pandemic will likely push millions of children into labor do we have an idea of how many more children we're talking about here this crisis by to reverse all of the progress that we did in the last 20 years i think it was that he called the night before me no no cheers and where i had been we have been able international community has been able to free from say labor in the last 20 y

let's talk with more about this with sophie to conic she's the director of the international labor organization office in abidjan that's a port city and ivory coast sophie africa has the highest number of child victims worldwide and i was quite shocked to learn earlier that the incredible 72000000 children in across africa in employment why is the number so staggeringly high. indeed 72000000 children across africa and that is one child in 5 age 5 to 17 in africa it is very high there are reasons. this is link of course to poverty and. the story of the boy in central africa republic perfectly illustrates the complexity of the factors that are that are. creating child labor poverty is one the lack of access to education to create you creation in the case of central africa education history and compulsory on paper but in practice many children are out of school the lack of access to social protection again the story of the child in central africa shows that he's not his mother is sick. there's no health care there's no safety net and the only possibility for the child to start working the lack of

look, you know, you see in some of these labor organizations across the country they're not necessarily reflective of the demographics of the organization itself or the community in which they're policing. oftentimes that's an underlying issue as well. >> what do you say to people who are concerned about not being able to get a police officer when they need one? might not trust the idea of a community group coming to patrol their streets or might not trust the idea of a social worker doing wellness checks, they feel they need a police officer there to stay safe. >> the issue is not whether the police are there or not. i think the police should always have some type of role for a presence for readiness. the issue comes in when we have the expectation of the officer who is ill-equipped, undertrained, and not educated to handle some of these situations that people with ph.d.s and a specialty in that discipline have fully been able to address as well. i don't think getting rid of police is the answer. i don't see how we can do that. you still need police to intersect with really bad people

labor, some linked garments doing similar things. that was not dependent upon any technological change, just an organization of labor. ation of labor that tended to create a growing community of people without property. anchoring gap between the rich and poor. it happened before the shift to factories and that kind of thing. there is no doubt however you start having to pay for the machines to create factories, that dictates searches labor system that exasperates that situation brutus was a factor but it is not the only one. host: social mobility or oppression. daniel: could be either. it could be both. when not. it certainly seems to fit. if the servants coming over to say, eastern pennsylvania in the late 18th or early 19th century, and his opportunity to get land pretty can say the same thing about the servants coming over to virginia in the early mid 17th century. the high death rate in all kinds of problems and issues that they faced. as a form of oppression was also an opportunity to get land read while these different societies are still and economies are still very much in development and in flux. so it is bot

she is the director of the international labor organization's office in a port city in the ivory coastrica has the highest number of child labor victims worldwide. i was quite shocked to learn earlier that an incredible 72 million children across africa are in employment. why is the number so staggeriringly high? >> indeed. 72 milillion childreren across africa. that is s one child in five. it is very high. the reasons are many. this is linked of course to poverty. the story of the boy in central african republic illustrates the complexity of the factors that are creating child labor. poverty is one. the lack of access to free education. in the case of central afrfrica, educatioion is free a and compuy on paper but many children are out of school. the lack of access to social protection. again, the story of the child in central africa shows that his momother iss sick. therere is no health, no safety net. the only posossibilityty is s fe child to start wororking. the lack of awareness of the population. the lack of enforcement because the majority of workers in africa are in the economy

his team are on the front line of the housing crisis or clinics in and poverty is volunteer labor organization that has been operating in oakland airport and we do advocacy with lower communities who are receiving a benefit most of them but also working families to take on a cause in the economy is one by one in fact the majority of people we work with are being squeezed out of rental market they can barely afford their weekly ranter may be homeless. the morning what's become one of the most unaffordable cities in the world for many middle class households high rents mean they can't afford to buy a house. but families like days can't afford to buy food today you're here almost issues you're also needing if you grant them and housing president open looks like an ordinary working family on the minimum wage spending the 70 percent of it. on rent and being left with very little to feed their children and living a couple of paychecks away from homelessness is still tough out there oh no it's nothing else also i'm come from. help people so what do you needing help. going to do to get anything. done

1st be connected 6 years ago and at a time when people on to now to protest the international labor organization has worn 400000000 and dnsbl slip into poverty as a result of india's lockdown and its urging promise to modi to send a clear message to states to homes labels and protect workers from exploitation with us now on skype from chennai is now an atomicity is a senior economist at the research and business consultancy frost and sullivan nice to have you with us. in the renter modi as we said has been able to push through all of these reforms pretty much across the country now 1st of all i think reform might be a bit of a misnomer because reforms are just something positive happening and for millions of people this is not positive is it also it's temporary in many cases so really where will all of this leave india right so i believe it's important to stress that where we're seeing these are farms across the states a look at the different the anguish of that and what we're seeing is a lot of exemption don't leave the laws for repeat it over 3 years and to no question on the point of the elim

the labor movement in american poison justó how racism may to create the kind of institutions that would help improve the working conditions of american men and women. i noted in the history of organizedlabor how divisions of race and racism kind of like made it impossible to create a cross racial, across ethnic labor movements in my view would have been much stronger and much more powerful. and so just racism got in the way. that's just one particular instance and how i see racism working ourinstitutions in a way that undermines us as a society . now thinking about the present and into the future, i think things like the fight for 15 do sort of justify a whole that a new kind of labor activism might improve jobs and living standards and so i really take a lot of hope from that. but i would still think that resurgence is possibly a strong word here. we are living in a country in which most workers do not have voices, and unionization rate isaround seven percent . and as far as i can tell it's been, it has not rebounded . suffering continues to decline but i would agree that one of the most important challenges we have to overcome now to improve the lives of working women and men is to

labor may end up working longer hours under even worse conditions unicef and the international labor organization are calling on states to bring in greater social protections for the most vulnerable along with enforcement of better labor standards well we can now speak to cornelius williams he's the associate director of child protection at unicef and he joins us now on skype from new york thanks for being with us mr williams the u.n. as part of that sustainable development goals was aiming to eradicate all forms of child labor by 2025 is that now given the pandemic still a realistic target. who believe will not be able to achieve that tell ghetto to leave government don't place but now right this moment of crisis is an opportunity for government to make sure that actually the response that it's required if it if the economy deteriorate 'd to make sure that children don't get really to challenge a label and we keep the trajectory that we have on the it will be if for the last 20 years we have been able to illuminate 'd to come up 9994000000 children out of charlie. what have been the impact of a

. >> relations with organized labor, unions in that. >> it is a fascinating relationship between organized labor and frances perkins. they were mad as heck when she was made secretary of labor. most unions at the time did not permit women to be a member at all. a lot of the men who were the heads of the labor unions had hoped to be labor secretary themselves. they were personally resentful and they were also resentful that a social worker was the one who would be leading the department of labour. over time, they saw that she was their most so strong supporter. the thing she did a neighbor the labor movement to grow dramatically in the next 20 years. we know that fdr and francis perkins didn't pull the united states out of the great depression. the capitalist system eventually recovered after the big employment push of world war ii. the labor movement was the huge beneficiary of this growth with labor laws. protective labor laws in place. we had an enormous growth of the middle class in america. the country became the cause for its place that it was in the fifties and sixties. that has been
