June 12th is the World Day against Child Labour. On this occasion, the International Labour Organisation has held an information campaign aimed against exploitation of children in developing countries. According to the organisation, 168 million children worldwide have been working instead of studying. “Child labour has no place in well-functioning and well regulated markets, or in any supply chain," ILO Director-General Guy Ryder has said. A report by the organisation reads that children are often forced to work by their families because of poverty, low wages and lack of work for adults.
According to Bulgarian authorities, this country's laws provide good protection to children and the most severe forms of child labour exploitation have been eradicated. Still, more than 500,000 Bulgarian children are at risk of poverty or social exclusion.
