The report blames the COVID-19 pandemic for increasing both the rates of child labour and the hours worked. It also cautions that the amount of children entering the workforce could rise between nine and 46 million by the end of next year if the pandemic is not put under control and if they continue to lack access to important social services. 2021-05-17 53fd23f8e8bd0bc3632a8aa9a9375bfc034cfdcb /feed/2021/05/17/in-the-first-global-study-of-its-kind-the-world-health-organization-and-the-international-labour-organization-finds-tha In the first global study of its kind, the World Health Organization and the International Labour Organization finds that working more than 55 hours a week can lead to higher risks of strokes and ischemic heart disease.
