Abstract

Child labour is one of the most important problems in the world working life of developing countries. Poverty is a complex problem caused by the cultural, social and family reasons of the society. Child labor has declined significantly in the world after International Labour Organization Convention 182 banning the worst form of child labour. However, the health, economic, social and humanitarian crisis caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic it has started to rise again. Today, around 160 million children, who have not yet completed their physical, social and spiritual development, are working under conditions not complying with the international standards. This study examines how and to what extent the COVID-19 Pandemic has an effect on child labour by arguing that working children are exposed to the “worst form of child labour” because of the virus, and that a longer term strategy should be developed in eliminating child labor that can provide social protection for children and their families.

Özet

Gelişmekte olan ülkelerin çalışma yaşamında en önemli sorunlardan biri çocuk işçiliğidir. Yoksulluk başta olmak üzere toplumun kültürel, sosyal ve ailevi nedenlerin yol açtığı karmaşık bir problemdir. Çocuk işçiliği Uluslararası Çalıma Örgütü’nün 182 Sayılı çocuk işçiliğinin en kötü formunun yasaklaması sözleşmesi sonrasında küresel düzeyde önemli ölçüde azalmıştır. Ne var ki, COVID-19 Pandemisiyle yaşanan sağlık, ekonomik, sosyal ve insani krizin etkisiyle tekrar yükselişe geçmiştir. Bugün dünyada fiziksel, sosyal ve ruhsal gelişimini henüz tamamlamamış olan yaklaşık 160 milyon çocuk, uluslararası standartlara uymayan şartlarda çalıştırılmaktadır. Bu çalışma COVID-19 Pandemisinin çocuk işçiliğini nasıl ve ne ölçüde etkilediğini incelemekte, çalışan çocukların virüsle birlikte “çocuk işçiliğinin en kötü biçimine” maruz bırakıldığını, çocuk işçiliğini ortadan kaldırılmasında çocuklar ve aileleri için sosyal korumayı sağlayabilecek daha uzun vadeli bir strateji geliştirmesinin gerektiğini ileri sürmektedir.
