Key issues in developing a statisticaldefinition of CL:Key issues in developing a statisticaldefinition of CL:
Keep in view provisions of ILO Conventions,prevailing statistical standards in labour forcestatistics, and UN Conventions on childrenTo what extent non-economic activities mightbe included within scope of CLRefinement of thresholds for separating lightwork (permissible) from CL (slated forabolition)
Specification of appropriate statisticalindicators for hazardous workDevelopment of measurement tools for nationallevel estimates of children in unconditional

ILO working arrangementsILO working arrangements
ILO to set up an internal inter-
departmental Task Force to review draftsof the technical report and resolutionILO to establish specific mechanism
(perhaps organize an ILO Meeting ofExperts) to provide inputs/suggestions onstatistical measurements for hazardouswork
ILO to develop a web-based forum forposting drafts of the technical report andresolution for comments (SIMPOC will
advise partners to draw attention)
