projects to combat exploitative child
labor, including the worst forms, in
more than 80 countries around the
world. Technical cooperation projects
funded by USDOL range from targeted
action programs in specific sectors of
work to more comprehensive programs
that support national efforts to eliminate
the worst forms of child labor, as

withdrawn or prevented over 1.4
million children from exploitative child
labor.
