6. Child Labor Quick Facts
The International Labour Organization estimates that 215 million
children ages 5-17 are engaged in child labor (ILO, Accelerating action
against child labour, 2010).
 An estimated 12 percent of children in India ages 5-14 are engaged in child labor activities,
including carpet production (UNICEF, State of the World’s Children 2010).
 Approximately six out of ten slaves in the world are bonded laborers in South Asia
(Siddharth Kara, Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery, 2008)
 It would cost $760 billion over a 20-year period to end child labor. The estimated benefit in
terms of better education and health is about six times that—over $4 trillion in economies
where child laborers are found (ILO,Investing in Every Child, 2003).
 Some children are forced to weave up to 18 hours a day, often never leaving the confines of
the factory or loom shed.
 Children trafficked into one form of labor may be later sold into another, as with girls from
rural Nepal, who are recruited to work in carpet factories but are then trafficked into the
sex industry over the border in India (ILO/IPEC, Helping Hands or Shackled Lives?
Understanding Child Domestic Labour and Responses to It, 2004).
