Abstract

The author presents the multifaceted activities of the International Labour Organization, the purpose of which is to promote the culture of occupational safety and hygiene throughout the world. The celebration of April 28 World Day of Occupational Safety is mentioned. The statistical data of the Report «Child labour Global Assessments 2020, Trends and Way Forward», released in 2021, on child labour in the world, prepared every four years by the International Labour Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund, where it is said that 160 million children are involved in child labour in the world, of which 79 million do hazardous work. It was stressed that the number of children in child labour could rise from 160 million in 2020 to 168.9 million by the end of 2022.
It was determined that the priority of child labour for children aged 5 to 17 includes work in agriculture sector (70%) and contributing family workers (72. 1%), and it is also emphasized that every fourth child aged 5 to 11 and almost half of children aged 12 to 14 are employed in the family household. It was emphasized that currently the International Labour Organization is implementing in Ukraine the project «Inclusive Labour Market For Job Creation in Ukraine» funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. The Project has wide-reaching goals of contributing to the strategic development of the Ukrainian labour market through development of sustainable tripartite social dialogue, partnership-driven active labour market frameworks at the local level and helping create jobs and effective services provided to constituents of the social partners. And it provides for the improvement of training programs on vocational training and technologies, improvement of educational opportunities; contributes to the development of a two-level education system, where more attention is paid to practical training and cooperation with employers, building the capacity of educational institutions to help reduce the mismatch of workers’ qualifications with the requirements of the labour market, updating industrial training and special technology programs, setting up training and production workshops. It is noted that training children for work in modern schools is inconsistent with the modern challenges of deglobalization and requires a new teacher of vocational teaching and technology, whose training should be based on a competency paradigm, where competency in healthcare is among the most important.
