GENEVA — Child labor has declined, but progress toward eradicating the practice is uneven and risks grinding to a halt, the U.N. labor agency said Saturday.
A global survey based on figures from more than 50 countries shows there were 215 million child laborers around the world in 2008, the last year for which figures are available.
This is a drop of more than 3 percent from the estimated 222 million child laborers in 2004, said the International Labor Organization.
