Increased quality of labour standards and protection through labour law

This intervention supports the tripartite constituents in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) in following up on the recommendations of the Committee on the Application of Standards on the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (No.182). Specifically, tripartite constituents, with ILO’s assistance, finalize and implement the Lao PDR National Plan of Action to Eliminate Child Labour and Promote Decent Work for Youth 2020-2025. The intervention strategy also contributes to strengthening the capacity of tripartite constituents to identify, monitor and report on child labour and withdraw children from the worst form of child labour in hospitality and agriculture sectors. The end results of this intervention are the following: (1) the National Plan of Action to Eliminate Child Labour and Promote Decent Work for Youth 2020-2025 is adopted and operationalized, including a monitoring and reporting system; and (2) the national tripartite committee on child labour has stronger policy and operational capacity to eliminate child labour.
