2016 estimates from the International Labor Organization indicate that there are 152 million children 5-17 years old in child labour, of which about 73 million are in hazardous labour that by its nature can have adverse effects on their health, safety, and moral development. An estimated 25 million people are trapped in forced labour, including over 4 million children.
This app fits these three information-packed reports the size of a phone book in the palm of your hand. Five things you can do with this app are:

Find child labour data;
Browse goods produced with child labour or forced labour;
Review laws and ratifications; and
See what governments can to do end child labour.
