1. Econoff delivered reftel points on the Department of
Labor's Child Labor Report and List of Goods Produced by
Child Labor to Kyrgyzstan Ministry of Labor Acting Head of
the Department of Labor and Social Partnership, Gulmira
Kasymaliyeva, and Chief Specialist and Child Labor
Coordinator Vera Sasybayeva on September 11. Sasybayeva
noted that enforcement of the use of child labor in
agriculture, including cotton and tobacco, is difficult since
in most cases the children are helping their parents on
family farms. She said the government is working with UNICEF
and the ILO to reduce the use of child labor, and described
the government's activities, including the creation of a
government action plan and an inter-agency working group.
Sasybayeva and Kasymaliyeva said that the Kyrgyz government
is open to additional information from the USG on ways to
reduce child labor.
