Overview of Children's Work by Sector and Activity (8)Д«ased on a review of available information, Table 2 provides an overview of children's work by sector and activity. Source for all other data: International Labor Organization's analysis of statistics from Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de DomicГlios (PNAD) Continua, 2015. Primary completion rate was unavailable from UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2021. Statistics on Children's Work and Education Data on some of these indicators are not available from the sources used in this report. (6) Table 1 provides key indicators on childrenвЂ™s work and education in Brazil. (6) The survey also revealed a decrease of approximately 200,000 child laborers since 2016. Of the 1.8 million children found in situations of child labor, 706,000 children were found to be working in hazardous conditions. (4,5) The 2019 National Household Survey, published in December 2020, estimated that approximately 1.8 million children ages 5 to 17 engaged in child labor-337,000 children ages 5 to 13, and 1.4 million adolescents ages 14 to 17. (1-3) Children also engage in child labor in agriculture, including in the production of coffee. Furthermore, the reported number of labor inspectors is likely not sufficient to provide adequate coverage of the workforce, and local governments lack the capacity to fully implement and monitor the National Program to Eradicate Child Labor and other social protection programs.Д¬hildren in Brazil are subjected to the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation, sometimes as a result of human trafficking. Although Brazil made meaningful efforts in all relevant areas during the reporting period, prohibitions against child trafficking require the use of threats, violence, coercion, fraud, or abuse to be established for the crime of child trafficking and, therefore, do not meet international labor standards.

Children also engage in child labor in agriculture, including in the production of coffee. However, children in Brazil are subjected to the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation, sometimes as a result of human trafficking. The government also secured a $1 billion loan for Bolsa FamГlia to provide benefits to 3 million more participants, including 990,000 children. Moreover, the National Commission for the Prevention and Eradication of Child Labor was re-established after its dismantlement in 2019, and the government approved a constitutional amendment to increase support for the Fund for the Maintenance and Development of Basic Education and the Appreciation of Teaching Professionals, with the aim of leveling the amount spent per student, per year, across the country. The Labor Prosecutor's Office, the Federal Highway Police, and the Brazilian Association for the Defense of Women, Children, and Youth signed an agreement to incorporate human trafficking issues in the Mapear Project, which maps points along Brazil's federal highways that are high risk for the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. The government published two updated versions of the national 'Dirty List' containing information on employers that the Ministry of Economy had found to be using slave labor, including that of children. In 2020, Brazil made moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor.
