Article 32 - Interdiction du travail des enfants et protection des jeunes au travail

Le travail des enfants est interdit. L'âge minimal d'admission au travail ne peut être inférieur à l'âge auquel cesse la période de scolarité obligatoire, sans préjudice des règles plus favorables aux jeunes et sauf dérogations limitées.
Les jeunes admis au travail doivent bénéficier de conditions de travail adaptées à leur âge et être protégés contre l'exploitation économique ou contre tout travail susceptible de nuire à leur sécurité, à leur santé, à leur développement physique, mental, moral ou social ou de compromettre leur éducation.

  • Council Conclusions on Child Labour (20 June 2016)

    ‘4. The Council reaffirms the urgency to eliminate the worst forms of child labour and underlines the importance of a child-rights based approach4 to inform and guide all actions to eliminate child labour. Action is most effective and sustainable when it is embedded within comprehensive action plans and programmes to eliminate all forms of child labour, including through integrated area-based, sector-based programmes and value chain approaches. In this respect, the Council encourages the Commission to ensure coherence and complementarity between its education and child labour-oriented development programmes and to ensure mainstreaming in other sectors such as decent work, responsible business, vocational training and education, agriculture, manufacturing and mining as well as facilitating school-to-work transition and decent work for youth. Delivering on social protection floors and quality education are key factors contributing to a decline in child labour. In addition, it is relevant to recognize that child labour and forced labour are closely linked and frequently occur in similar contexts and sectors.‘

  • Committee on the Rights of the Child, General comment No. 21 (2017) on children in street situations

    Article 32 - on child labour
    ‘59. The Committee urges States to implement the provisions of article 32 (2) of the Convention, and the International Labour Organization Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138), and Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182), to protect children in street situations from economic exploitation and the worst forms of child labour. Action against child labour should comprise comprehensive measures, including the provision of support enabling children to transition into education and guaranteeing an adequate standard of living for them and their families. Such measures should be developed in collaboration with children in street situations and other key stakeholders to reflect children’s best interests and to ensure they do not have any inadvertent negative impact on children’s survival or development. The criminalization of begging or unlicensed trading can result in worse forms of survival behaviours, such as commercial sexual exploitation. Savings schemes to develop budgeting skills and safeguard earnings for children in street situations are beneficial.‘

    (b) the promotion of freedom of association and collective bargaining to enable at-risk workers to join workers’ organizations;
    (c) programmes to combat the discrimination that heightens vulnerability to forced or compulsory labour;

    (e) taking steps to realize the objectives of the Protocol and the Convention.‘
    ‘10. Protective measures for children subjected to forced or compulsory labour should take into account the special needs and best interests of the child, and, in addition to the protections provided for in the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182), should include:
    (a) access to education for girls and boys;
    (b) the appointment of a guardian or other representative, where appropriate;
    (c) when the person’s age is uncertain but there are reasons to believe him or her to be less than 18 years of age, a presumption of minor status, pending age verification; and
    (d) efforts to reunite children with their families, or, when it is in the best interests of the child, provide family-based care.‘
