In this 5th part of our interview, Kari Tapiola, ILO Deputy Director-General and Executive Director from 1996 to 2010, discusses the influence of the ILO's international conventions on the abolition of child labour. In 1973, the ILO adopted the Convention on Minimum Age for Admission to Employment (C138). Kari Tapiola explains in particular the position of European trade unions towards the problem of child labour. As a conclusion, Kari Tapiola evokes the ongoing challenges posed by child labour in the post-Cold War era of globalization.

They all work until 9 P.M. when busy, and make about $2 to $2.50 a week. Jennie's father works on street, when he has work. Jennie was a truant, "I staid home 'cause a lady was coming."
