Gov t denies child labour claims | World News

BRIDGETOWN (CMC): The Barbados government has said there’s no child labour on the island even as a Multiple Indicator Cluster 2012 Survey conducted by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) points to 2.3 per cent incident rate on the island. In a statement, Labour and Social Partnership Relations Minister Colin Jordan explained that what the data showed was that a significant number of children were involved in household chores. “Let me make it absolutely clear that we have no concerns regarding children under the age of 16 who are permitted to age-appropriate work on weekends and during vacation time that does not affect their education and development,” Jordan told delegates to a three-day National Child Labour Seminar hosted by the International Labour Organization (ILO) via the Zoom platform. The conference ends on Friday.
