There are 1.8 million child labourers in Ghana, according to the latest Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS6) reported by the Ghana Statistical Service in 2014. This is unacceptable. Our constitution establishes child labour as an abuse of the fundamental human rights of the child. Article 28 (2) of the 1992 Constitutions is unequivocal: “every child has the right to be protected from work that constitutes a threat to his health education or development”.
