With children and young adults forming over half the population of the Arab states, nearly 15 per cent of all children is estimated to be engaged in some form of child labour, according to a report by the International Labour Organisation. The numbers could be even higher as many children work in the informal sector, which is hard to measure.
Prince Abdulaziz said that while armed conflicts and strife had led to the displacement of families, leading to tens of thousands of children being forced out of school and compelled to work even in hazardous labour, the current Covid-19 situation will further amplify the problem.
He cautioned that to ensure that a significant portion of the new generation is not lost, their well-being must be prioritised by doubling the efforts to curb child labour in all forms be it in agriculture, services or industry.
"Our goal is to ensure the prohibition and eradication of child labour of all forms by 2025, and to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030," he added.
