The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) has prepared this 16th annual report on 2016 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor in accordance with the Trade and Development Act of 2000 (TDA).

This report focuses on the worst forms of child labour. The definition of the “worst forms of child labour” is found in the TDA and is the same as that included in ILO C. 182. It includes (a) all forms of slavery or practices similar to slavery, such as the sale or trafficking of children, debt bondage and serfdom, or forced or compulsory labour, including forced or compulsory recruitment of children for use in armed conflict; (b) the use, procuring, or offering of a child for prostitution, for the production of pornography, or for pornographic purposes; (c) the use, procuring, or offering of a child for illicit activities, in particular for the production and trafficking of drugs; and (d) work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety, or morals
of children.
