2. (SBU) Per reftel, on September 11, Post spoke with Committee on
Control and Social Protection Chairman Serikkali Bissakayev in the
Kazakhstani Ministry of Labor and Social Protection. Chairman
Bissakayev informed EconOff of the findings of a November 2008
International Labor Organization (ILO) workshop on the protection of
child labor held in Taraz, southern Kazakhstan. According to
Bissakayev, the findings published by the ILO demonstrate that child
labor employed in the cultivation and processing of cotton and
tobacco in southern Kazakhstan is limited almost exclusively to the
children of seasonal migrant families from Kyrgyzstan. State law
enforcement agencies continue to take preventative measures.
Chairman Bissakayev concluded the discussion by thanking EconOff for
the message, saying that he "welcomed further open dialogue" on
child labor in Kazakhstan.
