Aware of the seriousness and negative repercussions of the
child labor problem, the Philippine government
continuously adopts measures to curb the incidence of
child labor in the country.
Government
uses a two-pronged approach.
First, is the policy approach which involves the
enactment and issuance of laws and other legal instruments
to fill in existing policy gaps on child labor. This approach acknowledges that abuse and exploitation often
accompany the employment of children in industrial
undertakings. Second,
is the program approach which involves the development and
implementation of action programs.
These range from specific measures targeting
limited groups to comprehensive interventions applicable
to all groups of children engaged in child labor.
