According to the US Government annual assessment of child exploitation, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Costa Rica and El Salvador made notable progress towards eradicating child labor in 2013, but only minimal improvements have been made in Uruguay, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
The 958-page “2013 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor” is published by the US Department of Labor and assesses the prevalence of child labor in 143 countries that benefit from preferential trade terms with the United States.
At a press conference, US Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez said that more needed to be done to stop child labor, and he mentioned the progress made in Chile where they have approved a law giving free education to children up to the age of 18 and have almost tripled the inspections looking for children working.
The report was critical of the Dominican Republic, which they described as making minimal advances, especially in education opportunities for certain population groups, mainly children of Haitian descent.
