According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are nearly 152 million child laborers worldwide in 2018.
Although the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and other humanitarian actors provide aid in areas where displaced and local children are forced to work, many children still face the burden of having to earn wages to support their families. To remedy the situation in the case of Madagascar, ILO set up a programme that helps child workers change their status and gain access to training.
