【 摘 要 】

During the 1990s broad interestresurfaced among the public and policymakers on the subjectof child labor, this time concentrating on the plight ofchildren in the developing world. The children summit in NewYork (1990), the world summit on social development inCopenhagen (1995), and the International Labour Organization(ILO) adoption of convention 182 on elimination of the worstforms of child labour (1999) are clear evidence of theincreasing international concern. In several conferencesleading up to the 1999 ILO convention (Geneva 1996,Amsterdam 1997, Cartagena 1997, and Oslo 1997), the samecommitment to combat child labor was expressed, along withthe need for closer cooperation between internationalorganizations, a point emphasized especially in Oslo. Withthe adoption of the millennium development goals in 2000,the realization quickly grew that international and nationalefforts to address key developmental objectives willobjectives will be hampered unless there are adequate datafor measuring monitoring and managing results; sufficientcapacity to use the data at the local level supplemented bytechnical assistance; donor harmonization of policies forsetting global (rather than donor) priorities and exploringsynergies among all stakeholders; and conditional on theprevious three areas timely and relevant policy interventions.
