Ages 5-11: at least one hour of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work per week.
Ages 12-14: at least 14 hours of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work per week.
Ages 15-17: at least 43 hours of economic or domestic work per week.
The International Labour Organization estimates that 352 million or 23 percent of all children between 5 and 17 years of age were economically active in the year 2000. About half of these children are estimated to do work that is likely to harm their health, safety, or moral development. The large majority of working children, close to 94 percent, live in developing countries, mostly in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
Such work is considered harmful to the child and should therefore be eliminated.
