Why Child Labour Still Persists Worldwide

In this episode, we unpack the latest Child Labour: Global Estimates 2024 report by the ILO and UNICEF, which reveals that 138 million children are still engaged in child labour globally — with 87 million in Sub-Saharan Africa alone. Why, despite decades of progress, are so many children still denied their right to childhood, education, and safety?

We explore the data, trends, and human stories behind the numbers — from Nigeria’s growing burden to the fragile gains in Asia and Latin America. Tune in for insights, expert analysis, and what needs to happen next to meet the world’s long-missed promises.
