This year the ILO’s World Day for Safety and Health at Work joins with the World Day Against Child Labor for a campaign to improve the safety and health of young workers and end child labor.
The 541 million young workers (15-24 years old) account for more than 15 per cent of the world’s labor force and suffer up to a 40 percent higher rate of non-fatal occupational injuries than adult workers older than 25.
