WHD to Host September 12 Webinar on Ending Exploitative Child Labor
The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) announced a webinar on September 12, 2024, entitled, “Working Together to End Exploitative Child Labor.” WHD explains that since 2019, the agency has documented an 88% increase in (and subsequent crackdown on) the number of children employed in violation of federal child labor laws. WHD notes that the most common violations entail working excessive hours or engaging in a dangerous job before the age of 18. During the webinar, the WHD will aim to provide education and awareness to stakeholders and participants who are on the front lines, interacting with children on a regular basis, to help prevent child labor.
The webinar will be held on September 12, 2024 from 3:30pm to 4:30pm ET. Those wishing to participate in the webinar should register through WebEx here.
