Why should employers, um, support a dedicated post-2030, um, target on child labor instead of saying, "Well, we'll just comply with the kind of regulation that already exist"?

Thank you very much for that question.

It's a privilege for employers to take part in this important conversation.

I think we've been given the numbers, 138 million children still working in child labor.

So from the employer's pers-perspective, one of the most relevant elements of the Marrakech Global Framework, which was passed in April, in, uh, in February this year, is its strong emphasis on moving from commitment to action through practical implementation, particularly within enterprises and supply chains.

The framework like-rightly recognizes that eliminating child labor requires addressing its root causes, including poverty, informality, and lack of access to quality education, while at the same time s-strengthening responsible business conduct.

For the International Organization of Employers and its global network of more than 150 employer member organizations, this dual approach is essential.

Um, what kind of target would you support, and what would make it credible?
