The bilateral engagement underscored a shared commitment by Ghana and Turkey to address child labour through stronger labour institutions, improved inspections and the expansion of decent work opportunities.
Mr Pelpuo emphasised that the elimination of child labour requires sustained international collaboration, pointing to poverty, limited access to quality education and the prevalence of informal employment as key drivers that must be addressed through comprehensive strategies.
“Protecting vulnerable children and ensuring their access to education and social protection systems must remain a shared global priority,” the minister explained.
The engagement underscored a mutual resolve to pursue technical cooperation that reinforces labour governance and advances the protection of children’s rights.
By convening governments, labour groups and development partners, the conference aims to galvanise collective action to eliminate child labour across all sectors globally.
