WORLD Child Labor Laws 2016

The WORLD Policy Analysis Center (WORLD) is committed to improving the quantity and quality of globally comparative data available to policymakers, citizens, civil society, and researchers on laws and policies that work to support human rights, including economic opportunity, social and civic engagement, human health, development, well-being, and equity. The WORLD Child Labor Laws 2016 dataset was created to assess progress on laws protecting children from work that harms their health, education, and development through a systematic review of legislation governing child labor across all 193 UN countries as of October 2016. The dataset covers minimum age of work, light work, and hazardous work; exceptions to legislated minimum ages; restrictions on night work; and restrictions on hours of work on a school day.
