From June 27-29, Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), co-hosted a conference showcasing new research findings on child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. Worldwide, more than 25 million people were in forced labor for the commercial gain of others, while 160 million children—63 million girls and 97 million boys—were estimated to be engaged in child labor globally at the beginning of 2020.
