CORE and the Centre for Child Rights and Business publish white paper on child labour in the United States

CORE

"Child Labor in the United States – A Call for Corporate Responsibility," 20 November 2024

On World Children’s Day, 20 November 2024, CORE – The Human Side of Business and The Centre for Child Rights and Business are releasing a new white paper addressing the pressing issue of child labor in the United States.

Contrary to common assumptions, child labor is not limited to the world’s poorest regions. In the U.S., it is on the rise, particularly in the agricultural and protein industries.

The white paper highlights:

  • The alarming increase in child labor cases in the U.S., with violations increasing by over 283% since 2015.
  • Legal and systemic challenges, including gaps in protections and recent rollbacks of labor standards in certain states.
  • Key insights from work on the ground in U.S. supply chains, such as weak age verification processes and the lack of robust corporate child labor policies.
  • Recommendations for companies on effectively addressing child labor in supply chains through human rights due diligence.

This white paper provides businesses with operations or supply chains in the US with practical insights and guidance to adress child labor and align with international human rights standards.
