We know that the regions of the world where child labour has reduced over time are also those that have been more successful in lowering child poverty and in raising levels of social protection for children and their families. Africa faces a double challenge in that regard. It is the continent with the highest prevalence and the largest numbers of children in child labour and also the lowest social protection coverage. In Africa, 83% of the population has no social protection at all.
