BEIRUT: Labor Minister Salim Jreissati said Tuesday that his
ministry is working to combat child labor, calling the effort a “national
responsibility,” the National News Agency reported.
Jreissati was speaking during a meeting he headed for the
National Committee to Combat Child Labor. During the meeting, a sub-committee
was formed to study legislation on child rights and strengthen the role of
inspectors at the Labor Ministry and the National Social Security Fund in order
to follow up on the situation of child laborers and offer them needed
assistance.
Jreissati highlighted the need to activate the work of the
committee which implements programs to combat child labor in coordination with
the International Labor Organization.
Jreissati
also underlined “the need to continue efforts to amend the labor law in order
to guarantee following up on child laborers in unorganized sectors.”
