CHILD LABOUR AFFECT CRITICAL AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT-DEPUTY LABOUR MINISTER.

The Deputy Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Bright Wereko Brobbey says Child Labour is affecting the nation's critical areas of development, and has said a pragmatic effort by all stakeholders is needed to curtail the situation.

According to the deputy Minister, 160 million Children engage in Child Labour globally, a situation he says needs accelerated action to fight against it.

He spoke at a durbar to commemorate this year’s World Day Against Child Labour and launch the third Ghana Accelerated Action Plan Against Child Labour held at Ntowkrom in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region on a Theme; Intensify Action against child labour; Do it fast, Do it now.

On his part, the Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Kwame Acheampong called for a renewed determination to create a world where every child can enjoy their rights, pursue their dreams and reach their full potential.

He therefore charged all and sundry to get on board and help empower communities to address the root causes of child labour such as poverty, lack of education and social inequality. Investing in education and vocational training will equip children with the knowledge and skills they need to break away from the cycle of labour exploitation and build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

Meanwhile, Country Director for Engage Now Africa, Komla Afasi says care for children cannot be understated and all should endeavour to desist from exploiting Children.
