List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor
ILAB maintains a list of goods and their source countries which it has reason to believe are produced by child labor or forced labor in violation of international standards. The List is intended to
raise public awareness about child labor and forced labor around the world, and to promote and inform efforts to address them.
A starting point for action, the List creates opportunities for ILAB to engage and assist foreign governments. It is also a valuable resource for researchers, advocacy organizations and companies wishing to carry out risk assessments and engage in due diligence on labor rights in their supply chains. &
The countries on the List span every region of the world. The most common agricultural goods listed are cotton, sugarcane, coffee, cattle, rice, fish and cocoa. In the manufacturing sector, bricks, garments, carpets, and footwear ap and in mined or quarried goods, diamonds, coal and gold.
ILAB released its initial TVPRA list in 2009, and has updated it every year since, following a set of procedural guidelines that were the product of an intensive public consultation process. Beginning in 2014, ILAB will update and publish the list every other year, pursuant to changes in the law.
Legal Authorities
The TVPRA List is compiled and made public as required under the
of 2005 and subsequent reauthorizations.
